I wanted to get to Globe, AZ today and I did. The fist 60 miles were really nice and went by fast, but the last 35 took just as much time to complete. I rode on Highway 70 for all of today and it was one of the worst roads to date. There was a lot of fast moving traffic and large semis, and the shoulder was very narrow, which you could barely ride in anyway on account of the pavement that had these upheaved cracks in it, which occurred every 10 feet, and made you bump every time you hit them. Think about how annoying it would be to drive through a thousand speed bumps one after the other. That was my day. 

I’m beat and tired. I’ve done a lot of miles the past few days and I don’t really know why. Maybe I can smell the salty ocean air and it’s calling my name. Or maybe I was just curious to see how much I could push myself. I don’t know. The miles are done no matter how you look at it. 

I have no strategy really for tommorrow. I’ll see where the day takes me. 

Lame post, I know. I really just want to hangout and eat potato chips and writing is getting in the way of that. 

This is not highway 70. I wish it were.
