Day 7 - 54.4 miles

Today was nice.  I really enjoyed it. We left early again, and I even needed a jacket for the first 45 minutes or so. Then it warmed up, but there was a nice breeze so I never got too hot.  It was desert, of course, but it was always kind of green so not too bad.  It looked like we went thru a cotton growing region, since there were lots of tufts on the ground.  The ride was slightly uphill for most of the way, but the last 10 miles were downhill. Wickenberg is a big town, with lots of traffic going out of town. We stopped at Chapparal Ice Cream and had a big cone.  There was a live singer in there with a great voice. It was a good end to the day.  I am really enjoying the ride and the group and the camping.
