Riding the Crest of the Rockies



Today we took a light day, given the intensity of the climb yesterday and the altitude. Both of us are having some challenge at 6700+ feet. So we just took today slowly. Got up slow, left town slow and took our time coming to Flagstaff.

I think we were riding along a ridge since we had lightly rolling hills. The weather was gorgeous and we made good time. Highest spot 7335 feet! A new high for the cyclists. Then down into Flagstaff, have some lunch and get to a motel on the far side of town fairly early.

Just 37 miles, but 37 good ones.

Tomorrow on to Winslow, AZ.
