Day 30 Ludlow, CA to Barstow, CA 56.8 miles

Nice easy day today. Glad because I'm still feeling sick after my ride to Ludlow through the desert. Not much to see but if there was, I wasn't in the mood for noticing it. The landscape round here is volcanic, black rocks and lava flows everywhere. Even the mountains are black. I haven't seen a tree since Needles.

Ludlow gas station, CA. That's all there is here. Book early to avoid disappointment.

Volcano, Pisgah, CA

I can't get over how nice people are here. Pulled over into a rest area to have a drink and a look at the map and a guy comes over and gives me an ice cold bottle of water. Would this have happened in England? Not in my experience.
