Day 7 - Prescott to Cottonwood AZ- 43 miles






43 miles
No flat tires today. So far I am at four and counting.
Climbed 4,428 feet and descended 6,475 feet!!

Had another great day of climbing - The longest climb was 12.5 miles with 7 to 9 % grades. Went up to the top of Mingus MT, at an elevation of 7,023 ft.
Fantastic views of the canyon.
Then, a 9 mile downhill, finally hit the 40 MPH mark. I got up to 41.4 MPH. Many tight turns, had to be careful. Man was it fun !!

Tomorrow is another day of climbing, a bit tougher than today, but shorter.

Having a great time, and loving it. Our God is an awesome God!!

Look for more tomorrow - I hope.

Here is my Garmin data. Check out the climb and descent.

Your Terps gear is awesome! Have you had to use the hemostat yet for your flat tires? I love you, keep on having fun, and be safe!

I love you too!

Hey Tom! Think of it. You've accomplished something I would guess 95 % of the population can't do. And it's only the first week. You're doing great. You've earned your day of rest. Enjoy it. Blue skies.

Hey Tom: I thought that your car got better gas mileage than it did. I am almost out of gas already. Please post your credit card number, expiration date, and pin number on your next blog so I can get it refilled.
Thanks.
Bob

PS: Did Yvonne tell you about the ... oh well, never mind.

Hi Tom,
I am trying to send comments. Don't know why they are not going through. But if you can keep biking I can keep trying
