Riding conditions: Hot, flat ( getting a great tan)
Forgot to note that on day 3, after riding about 20 miles on I 10, the route picks up SR 60 and from there the 60 takes you all the way to Phoenix. The day started off with a flat on my rear tire, A ver small piece of glass managed to lodge itself in a groove in the tire and slowly scratched the tube causing a very slow leak.. After a quick repair, headed into Wickenberg for breakfast and then down to Phoenix in the afternoon. Stopped at a bike shop and bought a liner that sits in the tire between the tube and prevents glass and thorn punctures from penetrating the tube. From the western side of Phoenix to the eastern side was a traffic filled 2 hours. Finally found a 7 or 8 mile bike path that rides along the Arizona canal. After checking in to my motel, my buddy Adam picked me up in a motorized vehicle. Commonly referred to as a car, it was a real treat sitting on the passenger seat and then the car just tr3ansported me rapidly thru space. After being on a bike fo 10 bours a day for 4 days, it was a strange sensation, We ate at an excellent.steak house and split a bottle of Charles Krug cabernet. Great time. Then back to the room to do laundry in the bathtub. 
sounds like you are doing great. mitch says break out some more sun screen tho!
