Poster's Note: The poster wants a raise!! Serotta expects the poster to come to work on the weekends and post. Now she wants me to drive to Columbus, Ohio and pick her up. I don't know why she can't bike home!!!
Total: 2101 miles
Cyclist's Observation: When you ride west you can catch your shadow in the afternoon.
We had a nice sloping downhill departure from Wilcox, Arizona, which failed to prepare us for the 10 mile climb that followed. As we arrived at the crest of the ridge we were rewarded with a spectacular boulder field (see picture). It was then another 11 miles of coasting to Benson. We arrived in Tucson about noon and spent the next four hours in mid 90 temperatures looking for a motel. The final miles for the day was 93 at 14 mph.
Bill overheard a discussion the other night between Serotta and Cannondale. We locked them in the room and went to the motel lobby for a strategy session. We decided to put the hammer down and stop the whining once and for all. Serotta has a lot of nerve after flopping a peddle and causing us to lose three days in Las Cruces. And Cannondale didn't have enough gumption to speak up. Tomorrow will be a rest day as we go to Steve and Kathy's in Marana, Arizona.
We are the Old Land Cruisers layin low around Tombstone.
Hmmm you ok? Bikes talking to each other?
