My goal today was to make it all the way to Flagstaff. But the accumulation of fatigue in my body, a relentless climb up the I-40, and the altitude headache I always get at a6000 feet conspired to make the Williams Days Inn a siren I couldn't resist.
Another challenge was that I had previously made a pit stop to meet with my therapist, who is signing off on the leave I am taking from Google. I was frantically looking for a place to pull of the very noisy freeway when, five minutes before my session, an exit for Devil Dog Road appeared. I took it, and found myself in the middle of a magestic Ponderosa Pine forest. My therapist agrees that the therapeutic effects of my bike ride and its diverse environs are beyond reproach. Yay cycology!
