Day 49: Phoenix for Thanksgiving

From Globe west there's an hour climb followed by a day of downhill. After the climb the first descent is Devils's canyon. It's steep it winds, the walls are jagged rock and there's no shoulder to ride one. It was really an incredible ride. Toward the end there's a quarter mile tunnel, a few turns, a bridge then your in the town of Superior. A very dramatic entrance to the town. From superior it's a long slow hill down to the desert. The landscape is dominated by cactus including the iconic saguaro cactus. Phoenix is a wide sprawling city, once I got in I had arrangements to meet my host who would pick me up in his truck to bring me to his shower then a thanksgiving party. This worked out great, I pedaled 60 miles that morning they drove me about 25. The party was lots of fun, I ate till full, played games, took pictures then ate more food. Now I can sleep well tonight.
