The word for today is CLIMBING.
145 miles, 10 hours on the bike, it seemed like the whole day was uphill except for a screaming descent into Springerville, AZ over the last 20 miles. I'm pretty sure I'm going to pay for that effort tomorrow. It was fun at the time.
I had lots of profound thoughts during the day today, I wanted to put them down in my blog tonight. Right now I can't think of any of them. I think my ideas made more sense in an oxygen deprived state at 9,000' elevation.
At this altitude the temperatures have subsided. It was 79 degrees when I arrived at the hotel at 5:00 p.m. I need a jacket!
See you tomorrow.

George,
Thanks for keeping everyone posted. I owe you a ride home but please wait until your trip is finished. I hope you still have a place on your body to sit down on after all the miles you put on.
