Attention: Blog updated from Portales all the way up to Pietown, NM and then skipped ahead to Grand CAnyon and Today
Today we finally left the Colorado Plateau and spent most of the day retracing our steps from the Grand Canyon. Todays ride was mostly pleasant on some of Arizona's best roads we've encountered, and beside's getting a flat bringing my total to 8 for the trip, today's ride was otherwise enjoyable. Seven of the last ten miles was a 6% downhill.
While I've enjoyed our somewhat circuitous route through the Southwest because it has allowed us to see many interesting sights, and as much as I'm looking forward to Vegas, part of me wishes we kept our first objective of biking cross country in higher priority, as we could have probably been in Santa Barbara by now, if not close. As much as I've enjoyed this trip and the amazing experiences that it has afforded me, I feel as if I'm ready to return home at this point to deal with the life I've left behind these past eight weeks.
