Another day of fine sunny weather with mild 10-20 mph headwinds most of the day. We spent 6 hours crossing one valley today making about 3 turns the whole day. There was one town between Salome and Wickenburg and a lot of desert and cactus. We are staying on the lawn at the Horspitality campground. This is horse country. We are about 50 miles from Phoenix area, so we will have to ride in traffic tomorrow as Tempe is well through the big metro area. Some of the pictures of the campground cactus display are included.
I got my first 3 flats today. Luckily I had 2 spare tubes and Lee came by with another. One of them was in the first 25 yards of the Wickenburg bike lane, the first bike lane since about San Diego.
For dinner tonight, we are having meatballs, asparagus and pasta. For breakfast I had instant oatmeal, a cold bagel, some scrambled eggs, a banana and coffee. For lunch I had 2 peanut butter and cheese sandwiches, oreos, m&m's and a banana. We are not going hungry, that's for sure.
When is the last time you camped in 6 different places 6 nights in a row? Probably 1984 for me. Monday and Tuesday nights we will be at a Motel 6 in Tempe. This will be welcome, for sure
Mr. York - Nice photos..you better pick up the pace if you want to be home for the holidays...looks like fun and all that.
