Day 14 - Safford, AZ

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/600254549

What a day.  We had pretty good roads and gorgeous scenery all day.  It was one of the longest days of the ride at 78 miles.  Unfortunately,  we had a torturous headwind (10-20 mph) that resulted in speeds near 10 mph.  That gave us a good 7+ hours pedaling.   The challenge is that the panniers act as big sales.

I rode with a couple very strong riders and we switched off the lead job.  We were first to the camp arriving at 4:30.

Got a few pictures of the scenery.

  1. Seven hours of headwind does not sound like very much fun to me, keep safe out there, Dad!

  3. head winds are no fun. Hope they settle down and the temps cool off. I have enjoyed "riding along".
