April 28, Comments from Mike Sturgill

I have to tell you that the dust storm that hit me thru CG [Casa Grande - SP] on my finish yesterday just about finished me. The winds were howling out of the north blowing me all over the road, and blew dust on me the entire length of that trek thru Eloy and into CG. My psyche may be damaged beyond repair this time. That 46 mile trip (in both directions) between CG and Marana are mentally tough for me to handle. Perhaps by the time the brevets come around again, I will have forgotten. Only time will tell, but for now, I can’t imagine ever doing that out-and-back again. (Read more of Mike's blog.)

It was just your typical Arizona brevet - blistering hot and gusting winds.OK, so maybe there's something more to say about it. Please send in your blogs or blog links!

Many thanks to Ed, our support guy, who gave up his weekend to help us. Ed said he enjoyed the scenery, and besides that he won over $600 at the Hon Dah casino, so it sounds like he had a good weekend, too.

The Rocky Mountain Cycling Club is continuing their week-long tour through Arizona and New Mexico, and we wish them calm winds and a safe journey.
