The wind gods were with us today with 25 mph quartering tail/cross winds. We started out at 7:15 with temps about 40 deg, so today we had to wear jackets. After getting lost in Flagstaff for a half hour because of construction, we got out on I-40 and cruised most of 100 miles. There were times dust and tumbleweed blew across the interstate, but we flew. Today, when I checked the speedometer it seemed like we spending a lot of time going 25 mph on the flat. I finished my 19th century, and fastest, averaging 19mph and peddling 5 1/4 hours. It is good to have that behind us. Sandra will be joining me tonight in Holbrook, and I can pass off my desert gear. Then she will be making her way to Kansas. Tomorrow is a 95 mile day to Gallup, NM. Then we will start asking "are we in Kansas yet."
Stats: 100 miles (cruised several miles around town to reach it), 19 mph avg speed, 20-30 mph quartering/cross winds, temps 40 -84 deg.
