The Copper Queen, bus bee, Arizona

This post is coming to u from atop my queen size bed in a warm clean hotel with a bit of history but most importantly a bath tub with lots of hot water. Amazing I feel human again. I am going to have trouble going back to my tent unless it gets a lot warmer. Tonight we go to a wine and cheese party at the Bisbee Bike Brothel, apparently famous for their bike collection. Then to dinner on our own and then back to our HOTEL for an early retirement. Today road was a very beautiful ride thru the mountings almost all down hill. The upholds were reasonable I sagged the last 6-7 miles because we had to go thru a mountain tunnel with no lights and no shoulder. That sounded like a very bad idea. After riding thru in a car I more than confirmed my suspicions. So glad I saved myself that anxiety and possible accident. Good riders were saying how dangerous they thought it was. But rs most riders on this trip would rather die than sag. It is considered the ultimate shame. Fortunately my standards are written so that failure is impossible.
Bisbee is very sweet. An artsy community with a ton of charm.

  1. You have not lost everything on the blog or internet, Marge - you have your memories and your experiences. So all is not gone. Walmart? Who knew,Walmart could be a refuge. Remember that movie about a young girl who gave birth in a Walmart? Maybe it was a K-Mart... and found a family?
    Thinking of you and your adventure!

  2. Marge- I'm so psyched with what you are doing. You go girl!!. You are hearing from me at this late date because Kathleen finally explained bloging to me. I'm in CA. I've been waiting for e mails from you .Now I've read all your blogs from the start and will keep up with you and send you good thoughts. What you are doing is incredible. Wish I could do it but I truly believe it would kill me This summer my friends and I rode our bikes to Duck (three flat miles) I had to be saged home. Now that is pathetic. Keep on trucking, I'm with you love kay.
