This ride started with a long slow grade up into the hills. The road was in pretty bad condition - very bumpy and by the end of the 1st 45 miles I felt absolutely bruised in the "saddle" area.
Can you see those little lines in the road? They are cracks with humps about every 4 to 5 feet - and we had them for miles and miles and ....
The town of Hope is just past Brenda - love this misspelled sign that says, "Your Now Beyond Hope".
Fortunately we did not have wind today!
It always amazes me what people will put on a sign!
We picked up about 2000 feet over the course of the ride today and then had a nice decent into Wickenburg. It is called the "dude ranch capitol of the US" - I don't know about that but it's a really pretty area.
The cattle are headed home...
You know I have really enjoyed seeing the countryside from my bike. Being able to stop and really enjoy all the beautiful, odd, breathtaking, kitch sights is what this trip is all about!
