Chico Airport — Durham Shuttle

Weatherman said the night before windy and hot. He was accurate. Wind out of the north at 300 knots with temps in the 900’s made for low humidity desert style riding. Started out heading north and soon landed on the airport at the north end of town as a destination thinking there would be an easy crossover to the west then south then east then north but it didn’t turn out like that exactly. Close. That wind made a good hill for about 1/2 an hour as the closest thing to a grade in this town are the CA-99 overpasses.

Grossly in-accurate Google time.
This is realistically about a five hour ride.
