This ride took me along some beautiful mountain passes and through some historic mining towns. However, there were no shoulders to bike along the hardest climbing stretches and along the scariest descents. Additionally, I was surprised and frustrated as there was a constant stream of traffic from tempe to globe - and on a sunday! This has Been reported by others who have biked this same route. What made matters worse today was the gusts of wind that seemed to want to blow me into the traffic that was unforgivingly zooming by me a couple of feet to my left at 70 mph.
Needless to say I shat through every article of underware, cycling short and pant that I brought.
In spite of this the temperature was perfect and the sky beautifully blue...

Hey Scott - bet I timed my call to you on your decent...no wonder you didn't answer! Hopefully, that was the worst of your journey and the last 3,000 miles will be a piece of cake.
