Friday, April 8, 2011 Safford to Safford 18 miles Well, it was really windy in the morning, possible gusts up to 40 mph windy, so I figured I wasn’t going anywhere. I could just spend another day at the Essence of Tranquility Spa, soaking in mineral pools and hanging out in the living room-like common […]

Thursday, April 7 Thatcher to Safford, AZ 8.5 miles Everything came together for me to be lazy today. I didn’t want to be totally wiped out by riding 87 miles yesterday, but it felt so good to sleep in, in a bed, til 8am, and then I still hadn’t done my laundry, and there was […]
Wednesday, April 6 Oak Flat Campground to Thatcher, AZ 87 miles This is supposed to be looking back on a long downhill. It’s hard to tell from the picture. Here’s my bike leaning. My kickstand disappeared sometime yesterday. Finding somewhere to lean it when I take breaks on the road is an ongoing challenge. I […]
Tuesday, April 5 Apache Junction to Oak Flat Campground, 4 miles east of Superior 35 miles The ride today was great until I started climbing into Superior. Then it still felt pretty good, until I bonked, which means just falling apart exhausted, I guess. I ate a sandwich less than 3 miles from town to […]
Monday, April 4, 2011 Pheonix to Apache Junction 42 miles If you look closely, you can see needles in my shoulders and forehead. Last night, Jessica filled me full of needles to get me ready to ride again. Chi was moving everywhere! I could still feel it moving around this morning, particularly in my neck […]
Sunday, April 3, 2011 Phoenix No riding This morning I slept in a lot! Lovely! Then I was very excited to have a cantaloupe for breakfast, because I am certainly not going to carry a cantaloupe on the bike. Way too heavy! I spent some time reviewing my maps, and have a pretty good idea […]
Friday, April 1, 2011, part 2 Aguila to Wickenburg, AZ 25 miles After spending midday in the Aguila library, I headed to the Coyote Flats cafe at the edge of town for a late lunch. I had decided to head for Wickenburg starting around 3pm to get closer to my day off in Pheonix. If […]
Thursday, March 31, 2011 Quartzite to Salome, AZ 40 miles My campsite in Quartzite on Thursday morning. Good thing I went all the back to the tent area! I might I have been in the way, otherwise. As it was, I wasn’t sure if I was in a site or in the road. Still no […]
Tuesday, March 29 Five Palm Springs to Palo Verde 54 miles I left my off road campsite just after the sun came up, rode most of the way down the sandy wash (where I’d walked the bike in yesterday), and was on the road by 7am. I made pretty good time to the Glamis store, […]
Or breakfast with good friends! Friday morning I met Mara and Cheryl at the Mission. Then I went back to Sean and Chris’ house, loaded up the bike, and rolled out! It rained as I left, drizzling, and then coming down harder. At first, I thought, it’s not raining that hard, it’s Southern California. I’ll […]
