Date Palm Dr. - I-10 Overpass, 09-20-10

Today's ride: 30 1/2 miles, Varner, Cook, Dianh Shore Loop.  Looking west straight into the eye of the wind from this overpass with Mt. San Gorgonio as a backdrop on a crystal clear day.  I recommend riding on the shoulder against traffic on Date Palm between the overpass and Varner when riding north.  There is no shoulder on the right side of the road and the surface is rough and traffic is fast and close.
