Share The Road - On the road - Day 6

Tucson to Globe, AZ Distance travelled: 121 miles A long ride. Longest of the trip so far. It was beautiful, though. I had a side trip to Biosphere 2 (just outside of Tucson), which made my trip more like 130 miles. Unfortunately the Biospere wasn't open and apparently neither Pauly Shore or any of the Baldwins were performing. I cruised on (well behind the team for a change) and ripped down Highway 79 at an average speed of 25 MPH. I'm getting stronger for sure. I saw the most bizarre animal on the side of the road -- it looked like a black and white badger with big claws and fangs. I don't think that was really badger...but it didn't look like a skunk either. I was going to take a picture of it, but it was staring me down pretty hard. After I rolled by it, I looked back and it was looking at me like, "Yeah...that's right". If you think I'm hallucinating, I'm not going to argue with you. I'm not going to argue with my hallucinations either (good to hedge your bets, sometimes). Met up with the group in Florence at a McDonalds (there is irony in their eating Mickey D's on the "Health Awareness Tour", I agree -- I did not partake as I'm not a fan). However, our meals, in general are pretty violent affairs -- we eat like Vikings...something you'll probably see in the movie. We rolled on from there and it continued to be a great ride. We finished with a long climb up to Superior, our initial goal for the day. We didn't find accomodations we liked so we went on to Globe -- it was worth the extra miles. Globe is a surprisingly long town -- runs along side Highway 60 more than anything -- it seemed, anyway. We had a great stay at a Days Inn and ate voraciously at a little Mexican food place (cheap food -- not the greatest, but sustenance).
