Tour day 8

Leaving Cottonwood Arizona to Flagstaff Arizona. Another fun day of climbing and the cooler temperatures. 46.8 miles and a climb of 5100 feet. Think today will be better than yesterday. That's Charlie getting it. 








  

We are going the red rocks of Sedona. Absolutely breathtaking. Stopped so many times to take pics. 













This pics and following don't do them justice. If you ever get the chance this is would be place to visit. Actually any of these places. Stopped for a coffee in Sedona and took in the views. Here are some more. 


















Had a great ride. Again feeling better everyday. So enjoyed the sights. Town is great. Flagstaff that is. This is an outdoor mecca. These people enjoy the outdoors and I can see why.








 Had a tall cold one from a local brewery. Ended in front of the fireplace to finish the day off. Well we have tomorrow off. Wash our cloths and relax. Holbrook Arizona is our next stop. Just 1777 feet climb and route 66. Looks like cold and rain. Crosswind also. Can't get any better. Bring it. Must tell you again Crossroads tour group is great. They are there for you.

Last day to ride before our trek to the beach. 90 miles and some climbing. Foggy when we left and in the 60s.  Hurting from spill but able to ride. Bitter sweet knowing this is now coming to an end. 7 weeks of riding and the friendships made. Here is the itinerary and the weather. We had 2 state crossings,  New Hampshire, 13th and Massachusetts the 14th. Was an interesting ride. Turkey in the road and one of the guys had a bear run by him. No picture of that. Covered bridge with some of my compatriots.   Here are a few more pictures of the ride.  So much beauty. Going to miss all of this. That night was our celebration banquet. Our accomplishments from our hard work going across the entire United States. That's my buddy Payton and our helmet hair. Had to have a Samuel Adam's from Boston      We all received awards for our endeavors. Some of those wh
