We found a brew bar which served nice food and had live music. A really pleasant evening.
Today is a short day after the gruelling desert days, so we did not start until around 8.30am.
I was feeling good after breakfast. The miles might have been short however the climbing was real.
The pictures probably do not do justice to the views which were fantastic.
I just missed a car crash which one of the team saw. The guy driving was not hurt at all, but that is the end of his Porsche 944.

There were lots of switchbacks
We had a break at the top of the climb
Then we went down the hill and stopped in Jerome, an old mining town on the side of the hill. It is now a very arty type of own, selling lots of things you don't need.
Today was the first day where were able to stop and eat properly at lunch as previously either there was nowhere or we were being hurried along use to the heat.
So we had a burger at the haunted burger bar.
The view from there was fantastic
We then carried on down to cottonwood where we are in the best western hotel.
No punctures today however one front spoke went. Rick has put a new one in.
Tomorrow is a steady day into Flagstaff following which we have a rest day
Overall feeling good and a great days riding.
Location:S Main St,Cottonwood,United States

You'll like tomorrow's ride up Oak Creek Canyon. Some climbing, but it's a beautiful ride into Flagstaff. Your first rest day is almost here.
