At the 10-mile point on Kelbaker Road, "the big curve," it's time for another break.
It's important to pace myself in this hot weather so I don't get too tired too quickly.
Gee, I've only been on the road for 1.5 hours and I'm already feeling a bit beat down. I've ridden this road several times on past Mojave National Preserve trips and think of this climb as rather easy, but the weather hasn't been quite as warm.
Even without the extra heat, it's always tougher during the first few days of a bikepacking trip as I get used to riding the 10-ton bike.
