We just pulled in to time station 3 in Blythe, California. The race has been going on for almost 11 hours and the teams are looking pretty good. This is their first night of riding and although there have been a few hiccups, nothing major.
We are all over the place - pulling up alongside riders while Ryan video tapes them. Or stopping alongside the road while Rafiel takes pictures and I write notes about which team is doing what. We stopped to talk to Team Connor's Hope-Team Donate Life. They are an upbeat relay team of 8. They offered us cookies. Who are we to decline? This, of course, came on the heels of Team Summit feeding us lasagne a little earlier in the night. Maybe we look like we need to be fed?
Blythe is the closest we will get to Mexico and if it weren't dark, we could actually see across the sand dunes into Mexico without trying too hard. From here we swing up to Parker, Arizona.
