Today's 83.7 mile ride was entirely on Route 66 and was mostly in big wide-open country with numerous grazing cattle. As we climbed in elevation the scenery became very beautiful with green grasses, wildflowers, and distant mountain ranges. We were also entertained by the humorous red and white Burma Shave signs which appeared in groups along the route. The scenery combined with clear skies, light winds, and temps in the 80's made for a very nice day of riding. We slowed the pace for the last 40 miles after lunch in an attempt to conserve some energy for tomorrow's tough 106 mile ride up to the south rim of the Grand Canyon.
Seligman is an "interesting" little town located along Route 66 at an elevation of 5200 feet. Tonight's dinner will be at "The Road Kill Cafe" - which might help you understand what I mean by "interesting" little town.

Hope you got an ice cream at the Snow Cap in Seligman. Sure wish we could have been able to see you on Sunday.
