Day 6

Brenda to Wickenburg. 77 miles 1500 feet climbing.

Our longest day yet. We were able to set off from our motel by 7:30. It was a beautiful sunny morning. We had two long ascents of 1% grade for 25-20 miles at a stretch. And there was an annoying 5-15 mph headwind! Craig felt better today but I still pulled(was in front) all day. I still feel great and had no problems doing it except for some sore muscles. We met another couple, Barb and Bob, along the way who are also doing the same route. We are at the same RV park camping with them. Hoping tomorrow is another good day for Craig as we enter phoenix.

Long straight stretches today
A strange looking cactus
I thought this cactus looked pretty harmless until I tried to touch it! Many thorns!
Highway 60 was very straight.
Hanging out with Barb and Bob who are cycling the same route
