| Event log: Today was another 8 hour day on the bike. We started from Eagar at 0820. The ride to Show Low took about 4 hours because there was a strong cross wind. For about 20 miles, there was a little or no shoulder. The was a lot of traffic on this section also. The scariest part were the big gravel trucks. When they passed, the cross wind would cut out and my bike became unstable. From Show Low to Heber, the road conditions were better. About half way of this leg, ADOT was laying new asphalt. When I went through, the asphalt had not set and it stuck to my tires. I had to buy a degreaser to remove some of the tar so I can ride tomorrow. Doug and I down loaded our bike computer and heart rate monitor information and realized we have burned a lot of calories. Our average calories burned for the last five day was 21,500. The map above says our stop was Show Low but we continued on the Heber. Our mileage total for today was 87.46. Mark |
