Today we decided to sleep in until 6:00 so that when we reached Flagstaff- the bike shop would be open. Needless to say, I believe everyone enjoyed the extra 2 hours of sleep. After packing up and setting off, we jumped back onto our favorite road (cough cough), I-40. After rrrriiiiiiddddddddiiiinnnngggg on this less than perfect road for 35 miles, we reached Flagstaff- where we hopped off our bikes at the shop, then stopped for a bite to eat. While the others were eating their Burger King meals, Jerry and I drove to his cousin’s house (She had some bike supplies that we were starting to run low on) and said hi. We had been talking lately about changing our route in order to avoid I-40, so we finally decided to head up I-89 towards Colorado and 4 corners. After we got about 5 miles up Highway 89, it dropped straight down. We had a tailwind, a 6% downhill grade, and everything was going great. We made it into Cameron, Arizona around 4:30, and we set up camp for the night at the Cameron Trading Post Hotel.
