Route between Alpine and Calexico, CA
This was payback day for the previous 8000 ft of climb on day 1 and day 2. We had a 10 mi downhill of mostly 6% grade. I hit 42 on with my touring bike. A rider on a recumbent did 49.

The route from Alpine mostly was on old Highway 8, which parallels the Mexican border. Saw an unbelievable number of Border Patrol cars on the road.

Yesterday was hard. 4000 ft climb over 40 miles. Today was worse. 4000 ft over 30 milles -- plus, 30 mph headwind. Averaged 6 mph!
