Today was pretty uneventful.
We rolled out of Wickenburg before dawn after spending a night in oh, such luxury! We actually wanted to camp out but could not locate a campground and the town was too populous to just camp off the road somewhere. So we bargained for a price we couldn't refuse and spent the night at The Westerner.... the place literally had no door knobs - dead bolt only! But can't complain as we chose it.
Then it was almost continuous downhill or flat ride into Surprise AZ and then a suburban/urban zig-zag course through Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa.
The SPOT died in Tempe - batteries last a week. Not bad. It will be up tomorrow.
Speaking of which, tomorrow is a rehab and rest day for Marty and a catch up on Evergreen day for Jake. We will do an easy spin for about 25 miles to Apache Junction and not get going again until Friday.
No pictures today - the pretty stuff was all in the dark. About 70 miles total for those keeping score!
How is Marty's knee?
You'll have to wait for his account, but we are optimistic.
Have a great night.
Jake

Hi Marty, it's Grammy. I've just looked at all the pics and read your blog. Sure hope the knee is better after giving it a rest. I am enjoying the warm weather here it TX, guess it is still really cold in OH. Hope your weather there is just right for biking. Your accommidations sound 5 star - ha. Love and prayers, Janet
ReplyDeleteMarty my friend...bad knee? Well, at 60 years of age, you should have a bad knee. By the way, in the pictures, you only look 58. Get well and stay well...Fred
ReplyDeleteIf Marty's knee gives out, God forbid, you guys could bring in guest riders to peddle Marty's bike the remaining distance home.
ReplyDeleteThink of the possibilities, celebrities, politicions, athletes, former girlfriends,rock stars,family members, maybe even Obama himself. What a hoot!
I don't know much about tendonitis but for general pain you can't beat Jack Daniels mixed with Goody's headache powder. Then again that might not be the best while you are actually riding the bike but it will definitely work in your down time.
Good luck, stay in the saddle.
