Day 11 - May 29 - Show Low to Holbrook, AZ (52 miles)We left the evergreens of the Show Low area, and headed north on US 77. We were quickly into the barren high desert and a really strong cross-wind that was into us. Luey and Andy were amazed at how far you could see, and how far we had to ride.
We only rode 52 miles today, because the next services were not for another 48 miles, on I-40. We hope that the west wind continues, as tomorrow is 92 miles, up hill, toward Gallup, NM. Lord willing we will leave AZ, and enter NM.On a personal note, I was really sad this morning, biking without my buddy. He is always my comic relief. Out of habit, I kept looking into my side mirror to see how he was doing, and then reminding myself he's not with us anymore.
I hope his knee is healed enough to join us again when we arrive in IL.
Prayers are appreciated! Thanks much!
Dave
Sorry to hear the bummer news. We will be praying for Noah. We are very proud of what he already accomplished. No easy feat for a 13 year old! Praying that God continues to use your message to encourage and challenge the churches along the way.
