Trans America Cycling Day 10 - Globe, AZ to Safford, AZ

Image
The link to today's route and statistics is found here . The morning was cool, low to mid 50's F, and windy, greater than 20 mph, so cyclists put on an extra layer of clothing.  Later in the day and during the ride, the wind increased to a little over 30 mph.  The wind was mostly a tailwind with a crosswind component from the right.  In places with the most  crosswind the wind would change one's direction to the left and the rider would have to correct to the right.  Some lean to the right was also necessary then.  This much wind was a new experience to most of the riders. The course initially had some very long undulations ( sine waves  to engineer Ray from Malta) of 1/4 mile to 1 mile in length (period to Ray).  The main road surface was good, so on the downhills the cyclists could ride near the white line in the roadway and gain considerable speed, to 30 to 35 mph at the bottom of the longer undulations if one let 'er rip.  Riders also had some crosswind componen

It was a tough slog climbing  into the wind of 20 to 25 mph on Texas Farm Road 505.  Eventually we climbed to an elevation of  5860 ft.  The gently downhill for 10 miles near the end of the ride didn't seem like a downhill, because of the wind.  Several riders commented that today was the most difficult of the tour, due to the wind. At least three herds of pronghorn antelope were seen as we rode up Highway 90 in Antelope Valley.  One herd was on the shoulder of the highway as the author rode up.  Antelope are extremely skittish, so they run off before one gets an opportunity for a close-up photograph.  In fact the antelope that were on the shoulder after running about 200 yards from
