Terry Hershner update – somewhere past Tuscon AZ

Overnight Terry Hershner and Bun Bun ran into a couple delays – an accident on I-10 that blocked the road for a few hours, and then strong headwinds that increased energy usage.  Even with that improved aerodynamic fairing, riding directly into a headwind still takes up a lot of energy.  They ended up prematurely draining the pack and having to charge on a 120 volt outlet.  They eventually made it to a GOE3 charging station from which they could draw 12 kilowatts – closer to their normal charging rate.
