Day 8 Rest Day Flagstaff, AZ
Didn't do a whole lot today. Cleaned my bike and did laundry. Everyone still seemed to be pretty tired. According to Tracey, last three days were some of the toughest. That's Colin taking a nap in the lobby.
I took the top photo when I went out for a walk. A couple from Wyoming in what I think was a '53 Buick were having car trouble. Doug and Jon also out for a walk had stopped to help. Remember Jon is the guy from the UK who has a stable of "vintage motor cars". That's Jon under the hood. He seemed like he was right a home. When I came back the Buick was gone.
I had dinner with Craig and Daryl, a doctor from Knoxville, who is joining the ride here and riding to Santa Fe. The conversation turned to how the soreness in your butt doesn't seem to go away even after riding 527 miles. The doc admitted that he "cheated". He applies some kind of prescription patch that numbs that area. He told us what it was but didn't offer Craig and I any.
Thanks Daryl.
Tomorrow we go to Holbrook, AZ. 98 miles. It's supposed to be mostly flat and a strong wind from the southwest is forecast. I need a little push.
looks like colin has the right idea to me......so it "numbs" your area.......don't get me started....
