Gila Bend to Casa Grande - 79 miles, 1192 feet of climbing
Casa Grande to Catalina - 60 miles, flat except for a 5 mile climb - mostly 4-5% grade. we changed the route. it was supposed to be an 80 mile ride but David living here in Tuscan knew of a shorter route and all of us riders wanted the shorter route. Yesterdays route was rather rough and really hot!
All for now.....

Awesome moon. You're taking some great pictures. I wonder if the shorter route was in the 'Book of Bubba'...hmmm. :-)

Great pictures... Especially the moon!!! We couldn't see it because of the storm, it has rained all night. The biggest moon in 20 years. It reminds me of the moon coming up over Yuma that one night we were traveling and we couldn't figure out what it was... So big and red. Great journal fun, informative and
ReplyDeletewe wait to read it. Have a great dsay and rest in Catalina....You look good...Nita
That's a lot of miles!! Very impressive. Cody and I saw the moon - advantage to 4:15am walks. Miss you and continue enjoying your awesome road adventure. Mary
