Roosevelt to Bylas. 78 miles. 4150 feet climbing.
After we discovered in the morning that our campground had showers and electricity we stayed to take showers and charge our devices before leaving by nine.
Another really tough morning of climbing. While on the climb another cyclist, Simon from Sweden, caught up with us and rode with us until we stopped for lunch in Globe.
A nice tailwind and descending resulted in our first day over 70 miles.
We stopped at the Bylas town park, pitched our tent and ate dinner. However, the area was very noisy and busy. We were worried about security also. So we packed everything back up and in the dark rode another mile out of town to some space by an old abandoned railroad trestle. Another night of ‘ wild ‘ camping!
We found out later that night that the area that we camped at had many stray dogs. They discovered our tent at 9:30 pm and proceeded to bark at us for the next hour before finally giving up!
