Yesterday we decided to stop in Superior, AZ after only 30 miles into a planned 55 mile day. It was the right choice. The combination of biking over a pass, difficult riding, and weekend traffic (including a poker run) made today's ride to Globe stressful. Although only 25 miles, it was a lot better riding through with fresh legs and head first thing in the morning, than it would have been yesterday afternoon.
The RV park here in Globe is nice, but small with just an outhouse, no laundry or showers. So, instead of taking tomorrow off the bike, we will push through a 7th day and a long ride tomorrow (75 miles) to Thatcher and Safford for our rest day. Good thing we have two short days in our legs from yesterday's choice to stay in Superior. Tomorrow's ride is relatively flat and the forecast is for west winds, just what we'll be needing!
