July 24th 2007 - Ridgecrest
Wednesday, 25 July 2007

Today was the day Dossi and Skuli got their bikes. Einar and Sverrir changed filters and oil on their bikes to make them ready for the next leg of the journey. Then at noon they took off.

After about 300km they arrived in a small town called Ridgecrest a little further north and in the desert. The temperature has been around 35-40°C (95-105°F), rather hot but they said it was ok.

To Sverrir and Einar the landscape reminded them of Mongolia, only now they were riding on asphalt instead of a dirt road.

Death Valley, the lowest point of the US, is their destination tomorrow. As it's below sealevel they should expect a lot of heat there. Then it's on to Las Vegas.
