Day 12 - 76.7 miles
Today looked easy, but of course it was it was not. We got an early start, and The first part was rolling, and we moved right along. Unfortunately the road (US 70) was very busy, with lots of truck traffic and a very narrow, bad shoulder. We were actually riding in the San Carlos reservation for most of the day. The road flattened out, and we cruised along, stopping often to apply more chamois cream. I was uncomfortable all day. The last few miles off route to the Essence of Tranquility hostel and campsite were a real slog. The high today was at least 87, so we suffered from the heat too. I guess this wasn't my best day. Things are better now that I've had a nice shower.
