If I remember the good things about a day, the bad things seem to fade away. By far the best thing about today was lunch. We were in the San Carlos Reservation, in Bylas, AZ and along the side of the road was a stand selling fry bread and tacos. I had stuffed fry bread, stuffed with beef, lettuce, cheese...it was yummy and just the thing after biking 44 miles....
Then the pain started. We were in a beautiful fertile agricultural valley with snow capped Graham Mountain and Turnbull Mountain as a back drop, it was a beautiful site to behold. Flat, what more could a biker want...suddenly there it was a ferocious head wind. We've heard reports of that it was up to 35mph. The rest of the day, 78 miles total, was one of the toughest rides to date. And this on the heels of climbing yesterday. I could barely get off the bike when we arrived at our hotel in Safford. My big sis gave it up about 15 miles out and took a ride in the SAG, again!
The best lunch ever, was followed up by a wonderful dinner by our own chef of grilled salmon, boiled potatoes, lentils and Waldorf salad. So I guess today's post is mostly about food. It's amazing what you can eat when you're expending so much energy.
As always, snug in bed looking forward to tomorrow.......
