I'm not going to lie. Today has not been an easy day. And its only 11:00. Maybe I need a diner?

Left the Phoenix Hostel a bit past five am (could have left earlier). Cycled the 60 odd miles here (Wickenburg). This was going to be my destination because the temperatures are so hot - i thought, 60 miles the first day in this heat - that's more than enough. Turns out that the camping here is RV only. So instead I'm going to take a break here until two or three (hang out in the library) then push on to the next labelled campground - Yarnell - another 30 miles but with 2000 feet elevation gain. I am however, not hopeful that it will accept tents either as it is called Oak Park Motel and RV Park. But there isn't any point in staying here.

Also, I got a flat. So now I'm worried about being down to one spare (Bike store tomorrow).

Also, I just found out that the library closes at noon (this is the kind of day its being). So I'm going to need to find some other a/c building to chill in for a few hours.

I don't know. Its just a tough day. Tomorrow will be better.
