Riverside to Indio

My knee bothered me quite a bit during the last 20 miles of the LA to Riverside ride. I started out Monday morning feeling just fine. After 16 miles, the knee started to bother me again. After 32 miles and arrival at the SAG, I decided to take a ride in from there. Riders on the road enjoyed the same conditions I did on leaving the first SAG--a good aiding wind and the ability to go 35 miles per hour without pedaling. It is quite amazing. Everyone who commented on it to me said that they had never had that experience before. There is a reason there are hundreds of windmills in this stretch.

One rider had a crash at mile 12 but was able to continue on after some bike and body maintenance.
