An interesting day.  We went 70 miles today, but got only about 2/3 of the way across Phoenix.  We did start about 50 miles away, but I was disappointed to not get farther.  Riding in the city isn't a lot of fun, but we got to go on a few trails and some streets which didn't have much traffic.  Then there were those other streets!!!!

I broke my seat today.  At the bike shop they commented on how old my seat was (based on the model). In many ways I was incredibly lucky.  If the seat would have broken in the next few days, I would have been in the mountains and away from any hope of getting it repaired.  I had to buy a new seat, but it is for a good cause.

I met up with John and his wife from Helena, MT. and rode with him all day.  We will be riding together again tomorrow. 

road kill report - two rattle snakes. At least we think.  We were moving kind of fast when we went by.

Very tired, so I will keep it short today.  I may be out of touch for a few days as we will be in the mountains.  Doing well.  Til later
