We went on a bike trip during Scott's time home - it was so much fun to be back on the road touring by bike. I think we both forgot how much we love the freedom, the views and the people we meet. During this trip we talked a lot about future trips we would like to plan.
We started in Benson, Arizona - just a bit southeast of Tucson.
On the road towards Sierra Vista. We decided to do low mileage days for this trip since it had been a long time since we'd been riding. It was also Scott's first trip on his recumbent.
After spending the night in Sierra Vista we spent the next day riding to Bisbee, Arizona. It was a day of hills and heat - in true Eddy tradition the area broke all records for temp that day (we weren't complaining - it could have been raining). We only went 35 miles but we climbed about 1000 feet in elevation. This is the last hill right before you get into old Bisbee - it's a copper pit.
Our hotel - now I just had to convince Scott I was too tired to carry my bike up those stairs...
Hanging out at the local brewery. Turns out both of these folks are pipe fitters - it was pretty funny listening to them harass Scott about being a safety geek. We had a great time enjoying her playing for us!
Bisbee is a very eclectic city - we think it's kind of a old hippie redneck town...
The town is built in this canyon so the best way to get anywhere is by stairs - just not these ones.
Partially up the hill to look at the canyon. Lots of cool old buildings there - if you are interested in the old time main street USA look I would suggest a trip here.
A look up the canyon - notice the peace sign?
I love this building and how Scott caught the light...
Ugh, I hated that hill I just climbed! On our way to Tombstone (see next blog) where we spent the night and then continued back to Benson.
