After setting off from San Diego at 5am we climbed up to around 4000ft in about 6hrs and over 70 miles using the Old Highway 80 route. Then tired of winding around Hwy 80 we jumped on the Interstate freeway 8 (this is illegal but so far the police we've seen have just ignored us). Once on the freeway we were soon on the down hill reaching speeds of 50mph and it was only another 3 hours before we reached El Centro. Today we had a short leg of 60 miles to Yuma, Arizona. We did try to stay of the Freeway but gave up in the end as the alternative roads were to bad to make good speed without falling off or ruining tyres. We made it into Yuma before 12 where a very nice lady paid for our meal in House of Pan Cakes which was a big bonus for our budget. I'm now off to try and treat my various ailments allready cropping up. More updates and videos to follow. Laters.....
