Today’s ride from Apache Junction
to Globe was shorter than the last few days, which was a welcome change. It was
a tough ride, though, with the traffic, wind, and hills, so we moved a little
slower than we’ve become accustomed. The scenery was pretty terrific when
I had the energy to look around, rivaling those first 17 miles out of Jacumba
as the best yet.
The first 15 miles on US-60 out
of town were in fairly heavy traffic with fairly non-existent shoulders. I was
particularly happy to have my dad there today to help me navigate that stretch
of the road. Without him I would have been carrying my bike through the grass –
and I probably wouldn’t have liked what I found to the right of the guardrails.
Speaking of things I don’t like,
I started noticing what I think are dead tarantulas on the side of the road
today. I counted four. I did some Googling when we got in to confirm and it
turns out that was a realistic conclusion. From now on my bathroom breaks will
take place on concrete only – apologies in advance for any motorists in the
area.
