Well, this was the day of two flat tires. One occurred in Mesa and set us back 90 or so minutes. The second occurred at mile 235 on route 87 just two miles from the intersection of route 188 to Punkin Circle at sundown and after 78 miles of bike travel. Duffy was unlucky to have both flats. This day was also included over 7500 feet in elevation climbing. Day 8 we will get flat fixed and Ride to Globe, AZ.



Thaddeus, you should be coming into Stafford now, after a fun ride through the San Carlos Apache reservation and a stop at Fort Thomas. I think after. Safford you will take 191. You could detour to Duncan on us70 and cross the Gila river then go right on Verden road to the Day SchoolRoad. A right will take you to the Day School that was built by Sandra Days father. It is an adobe building with a pitched roof. The South side is knocked out. The last time I was there a combine was parked in it.
I have never seen a nail through a rim. Keep pn truckin you will get there.
