This is an early morning post, my days seem to be regulated to eating, riding, sleeping now. We have interent at our third destination, but I will get to that later. The first day after leaving the plaza I could feel the excitement and energy that everyone was harboring. 55 miles to Williams was going to be no problem and it wasn't. Brad and I were the first ones in and happily celebrated with two beers each. I have to warn you though if you are ever in Williams and go to the bar Granzella's you will be staired down by at least 30 stuffed animal exotic animals heads, CREEPY!!!!!! There were even polar bears!!! I got a little sad but then Brad reminded me that it was all part of the experience. What else I learned on day one was a facted about road grease spots. I encourage you all to twice think about these grease spots. Brad told me a story about a squirrel that he once knew. The squirrel was run over, and run over and run over. It stayed in one spot on the road until it was nothing more then a stain most think came from an over leaky car. Abby and I giggly call them squirrels spots know but not with out alittle sigh. Road kill is alot of what you see along the side of the road, along with trash, litter, junk, rubbish and garbage, What ever you want to call it it does not belong there!!!!!!!! Pick up the trash and maybe our air, water and land will be more more more..... BETTER!!! Anyways on to day two. And on we went. We went on and on and on and on. A long day of sun exporsure, heat, bugs, gravel and HILLS!!! We were going on slowly steep incline pretty much the whole way. I felt like I was hauling an arm chair. But we all made it to Avalon Springs and soaked our woes away in there very beautiful HOT pools of earthy goodness. Now as I am eating my whole wheat pancakes and await our third departure on our tour. Thanks for reading and if the satelites let me, I'll keep incontact.
Peace, Love and bicycles,
