Today's ride was 120 miles, with much of it along the famous Route 66. The temperatures were very comfortable in the 70's and low 80's. My group of 4 (Jerry, Steve, Mike and I)pretty much brought up the rear to the pack today. Steve and I had determined to make this an easier day on our bodies, as much as you can make a 120 mile day easier. We were determined to give our legs a break from the stress of high exertion. Turns out everybody in our group need that today. We enjoyed stops along Route 66: the Wigwam Hotel, and Petrified Forest Park.
Wigwam Motel: Mike, Jerry, Mike G, and Steve.
I chased my first lizard today. It was a nice one. I think it was a big (6 inch) blue bellied lizard. I'm not as fast as I was when I was 10 years old. So it got away. Jerry was happy. He thought I was going to hurt it. I just wanted to get a closer look and a picture.
The forests of Arizona turned to sage desert. Route 66 is an old road, and was very very rough in places. We felt like we were shaking apart at times.
