Roosevelt Arizona to Globe Arizona, 34 windy miles and 616 miles from the Pacific. I awoke to a beautiful sunrise over the Roosevelt reservoir. I packed up camp happy and jumped on horse. He was ready for a good Gallup, but I reminded him that we had a long day had of us. We climbed and climbed until we reach the summit of Salt River Peak at 4830 feet. Beautiful purple and yellow flowers bloomed along the roadside and the cactus stood like centuries guarding the mountains. I was ready for a good downhill run but the wind gods had other ideas. Head winds of 20 with Gusts of 30 mph greeted me just after the summit. That meant peddling down mountain even with the 7% grade. I guess they didn’t get my memo. After six hours of pedaling at just over bug speed I decided to stop for some delicious pulled pork sandwiches and call it a day. This bike stuff is just like life. Some days there are strong headwinds, rain, hills, and breakdowns. But if I am wise I will remember that tomorrow could bring tailwinds, sunshine, and great downhill runs. I hope you had some tailwinds and sunshine in your day. Take care, Freebird
