Temperature: 101
Wind: light
Rest Stop 1: Roosevelt, AZ gas station 27 miles
Rest Stop 2: Side of the road 37 miles
Lodging: Globe Community Center (camping in a ball field) 52 miles
We attempted a 6AM start but Dave had a flat so we were out at 6:15. 2 miles down the road we had breakfast so the real start time was 7 AM.
It was a quick and easy ride for the first 27 miles. The are still tired from yesterday so the easy ride was appreciated. After crackers and Gatorade to refuel we were off. The climb started right out of the rest stop and lasted for the entire 10 miles to Rest Stop 1. Bu the time we got to the top I was out of water and out of energy
Rest Stop 2 was just a water stop. No chairs or food. We filled our bottles and were off. The next 10 miles were fast and relatively easy. We stopped at a restaurant to regroup and then decided to eat there.
The last 4 miles to globe was on a very busy highway. Not good ride at all. We are camping at a baseball field tonight. There is very little shade so a big group stopped at a bar in town. I had 1 beer over my usual limit (usual limit is 0 beers)
So we are basically camping on a little league ball field. It is all grass and there are some picnic pavilions. Everything is good. Time to rest up for another 80 mile day tomorrow.
