Day 6…..sweet home Arizona

We said good-bye to California today. After a short bike ride to the Colorado River, we crossed into sweet home Arizona. Got a chance to ride on I 10 today, which was pretty cool, trucks flying by, lots of debris….but the good news was wide open shoulders and manageable grades.

We then stopped in Quartzite for a break, good coffee and lots of treats at Sweet Brenda’s Bakery, and the sticky buns were good…just the energy we needed to get back on I 10 and head to the exit for Route 60 to the small town of Brenda, AZ where our SAG (support and gear) was waiting with water fill ups and snacks.

After that we continued on Route 60 to the small town of Hope, AZ where we stopped at the Victory Lane Café for Lunch and to just chill….after that it was only 6 miles to our accommodations in Salome, AZ. If you take a moment to Google Salome, AZ you will note that there is one motel, that’s where we are!

It was a beautiful day of riding the vistas of the mountains in the back ground against our fabulous Arizona blue sky, it feel great to be “home”. The ride of 67 miles seemed to just fly by….
