Early rise for the travel day, and on the road before 9:00 – YES! Long day today, as will the next two travel days also be long ones, but we do get a day of rest in Flagstaff.

Got in mid-afternoon, and it seems we may have gained an hour, so what to do? Hit a bike shop! Looked for and found Absolute Cycles, and got the skinny on the local trails, both here and in Sedona, which is only about 30 miles away, or so. Tomorrow, we ride!

We asked about places to eat, and were pointed to Satchmo’s, a New Orleans type restaurant, and that sounded good, so off we went … except they’re closed on Sundays! Rats! Maybe tomorrow. Off to the next place, which happened to be Beaver Street Brewing Company Whistle Stop. Not a bad place, decent food, and beer on tap, so all was well! So, we’re done eating, ready to go home and get some well-earned rest, and what do we see? RAIN! Yes, in Flagstaff, AZ. When we’re here. Imagine that! And I have proof:

Yup, the curse is still there! It was a hard rain, but we’ll try riding anyway, tomorrow. Got a feeling things dry out pretty fast around here.
