July 6, 2009 Tuba City, AZ

Sweep day with one of the radio hosts, Greg Sloan, a.k.a The Sloan Ranger. Arizona is a pretty area, it's just so desolate that riding your bike through it can get tiring. The heat isn't as bad as I thought since it's so dry here, but the only problem with that is my mouth drying out every few seconds. After arriving, Drew and I went around hoping to find food donations from the local restaurants and stores to help us out for dinner. It's a fairly small town, but we did walk away with 20 tacos from Taco Bell, 4 meals from McDonalds and 4 sandwiches from Kate's Cafe. Okay, so not the healthiest assortment, but we're grateful for anything. So, thank you guys.

When did Arizona get so windy? Today's ride was incredibly windy from all angles, but also probably one of the best rides as well. Dennis, Matt, Drew, Andy, and I biked together into the Grand Canyons. The view was amazing and scary all at once. We climbed some rocks to get out a little further to get a better view and it was well worth it. Later on Danielle, Dennis, Drew, and I had a family together on top of the rocks while the sun was setting-probably the best meal of my life. Came back to the campsite to have a hobo dinner and then headed back out to the overview to look at the Grand Canyon under the lighting of the full moon =].

Another windy day, and sleeping very little didn't help at all. Felt sleepy on my bike all day long until we took a nap at a park. In town, Neel and I met a waiter during our search for food donations who wasn't surprised at all by what we were doing. Instead, he replied that he did it twice already and was planning to do one around the world. Definitely a cool guy, he offered us a place to shower and eat since we're dirty and hungry bikers. Thank you so much.
