We had a late start, we were riding to Carson City, which was only 70 miles away. We took our time getting up, have a good breakfast and took our times leaving. We left after 10, but it was hot, very hot, already felt like it was in the 100s. The high it got in the afternoon, reached 105. Also the wind started to get worse, the wind gust picked up and reached 20 mph. We thank Mike Hooban for the hotel room.
Philip M Keating Fund for the Future.
"Phil's Fund" is a donor-advised charitable fund of the Arlington Community Foundation. The Fund will make grants to various organizations to which Phil volunteered his efforts, time, and talents.
On May 28, 2013 a group of four fit and ambitious friends of Phil, led by his good friend, Luis Gendive, soccer coach and native of Spain, will leave Yorktown, Virginia and pedal around 3,500 miles to San Francisco, California. Tentative plans are for some members of Phil's family to ride the first leg of the trip. If your not able to join the team on your bike, you can support them with a financial donation!

Day 32 complete
After a sunny, hot day going through Nevada, the weather people were saying that it was going to be record temperatures, it hit 103 yesterday, it felt like 110. We starts really early, at 7 and finished 114 miles. We finished at 230. If we didn't stop, we did it in 6 and a half hours. It's our fastest we ever done and also the most we have ever done. The road smooth for the most part, but had hills every 8 to 10 miles. We thank Mike Hooban for the hotel room, he also meet up with us at the end and rode to the hotel room. Tomorrow we ride to Lake Tahoe!
