| Day 15 - October 13 Rode 75 miles today. Elevation 1240. 1373 miles in the books so far! Tomorrow we will start our Northeast climb toward Kokomo. 9 days and 925 miles and we will be there. Today we were met with another cold/rainy day but it is done.
No pictures or videos today. It started out cold and windy and ended cold and rainy. We only got 75 miles today. Tough days like this are good, they test and build character. They help you truly appreciate the blue sky and sunny days on the bike. Anything worth doing is going to be challenging, it can be running a 5k, losing 10 pounds, getting an A in a hard class, lots of things, anything. It's not going to do itself for you, you have to get up, get moving, and get after "it", whatever "it" may be. Don't take it from me though, go find out for yourself. Set a goal, get after it Yukon, OK, United States | |

Kicking it up and eating like Kings in Holbrook, AZ this evening. Tomorrow we make our way into New Mexico.
Here are a couple pics from the end of the ride today. I thought it was cool how the rocks were falling apart almost like they were bricks falling out of a wall. I caught the semi going by for perspective.

| Day 6 - October 4 Completed approximately 80 miles today. Getting our kicks on Route 66 in Seligman, AZ. Feeding the horses before our long day of biking. Plan today is to be in or past Flagstaff
Looks like we are still climbing. Definitely can feel it on the lungs but it looks as though that is going to get better for the next few.
I was going so fast got pulled over by Arizona State Trooper Shields. He is actually a wonderful man just checking on this crazy fella riding down Interstate 40. Had a great chat with him and he seemed intrigued by our ride.
We made it to Flagstaff for the night!

| Day 5 - October 3 Completed approximately 80 miles today. Out of all the natural beauty that we have seen it pales in comparison to seeing "Old Glory" flying proudly in the desert! Our thoughts on this day are with those that are no longer with us. Their selfless sacrifice protecting what this flag stands for is the reason why we are able to ride our bicycles across this great land. Hope you will join us in always standing to give this symbol of our freedom the respect it so deserves.
Every good bike ride across America requires a picnic on the side of a one lane Interstate through hair pin curves! Ain't no hill for these Indiana boys.
It is no joke! The climb was steep and the air is thin. We topped out around 5400 I think.

End of Day 1 Today's stats not bad for a bunch of fat Indiana fellas! Very little sleep, In&Out for lunch, and a 60 miler to warm the legs up. We stopped into the local health club, downloaded their App and got a free 7 day membership. Hot showers was a score!!!
