I have come to the conclusion that bicycles are not supposed to cross the Mojave desert. It is an extremely long way to go with very very little resources I was curing a tremendous amount of water and drinks and snacks and blew through all of it. Luckily my timing was pretty good and was running out just when I was coming upon a rest stop. The temperature was probably up to about 104 in the hills you have to climb anywhere from 5 to 20 miles long.
The cool thing was in Ludlow I talked to a state trooper and he kind of gave me permission to ride on the section of the freeway that has a few more oasis to stop at. And it appears that if I would’ve taken the other route there was still a section of road that was close that was not on Caltrans website so that would’ve been fun.
