Day 10 | Flagstaff to Holbrook Route 66


Today started out a little chilly, when I hit the road it was almost 50. BTW yesterday was Day 9 and a rest day and I didn’t post anything, but still count the day. Day was a great day 93 miles and mild, I think the high later was mid 80’s.  A little climbing but more defending than climbing. Pictures later. 

Here is our first test stop.

I’m talking to a girl in a flatbed Ford. 




Indian art anyone? It’s everywhere. 



Jackrabbit, AZ gotta stop. 











The wind is blowing hard, and I’m riding into it. It’s coming at me at about 1-2:00 angle and sometimes huge gust at 3:00 angle, hence a huge crosswind. 





Here is the famous Wigwam Motel.

Petrified wood. 



This place is as old as the..

An old Dairy Queen.

Thanks again. Tomorrow is another 90 some mile day and I’m feel great.
