Phoenix

It is amazing to me still to be where I am doing what I am doing. I remember one time several years I go I worked myself up to go on a half-century ride . The route went 1/3rd of a mile from my house and I was so tempted to just head home but didn't. But it took me two days to recover!!!

I have ridden over 50 mile in the last 4/5 days and and have six more days of more +50 miles per and don't have a day off to recover until New Mexico. Today we traveled 66.7 miles for a total of 417 miles so far! WOW!!!!

I liked riding through the country. Most of the ride today was pretty flat with some downhill and some gradual uphills into Phoenix. We traveled on the "Carefree Highway" on the outskirts which wasn't too bad. Liz and I were tired at the end of the day. I still am not sleeping well at night. The train whistle kept blowing last night.

For lunch we stopped at an "In and Out" restaurant for a hamburger. They have a very limited menu of three burger items and fries but I guess it's quite popular out here.. Beautiful weather again.
Life is grand on the carefree highway...
Love,
Robin
Yeah for me! I finally figured out how to import a picture!
