Day 8 - Mesa


The resort is very nice place to spend our first layover day. There’s a bar to hang out with fellow riders, a pool to relax in, and the food is well executed trough. Its our first mail stop, so I have letters to read and snacks to eat from Mom and Bruce. Found a post office and sent some stuff home along with many postcards. The laundry is done, and many riders are cleaning their bikes, but I’m ignoring mine.

A bunch of us went to the Frank Lloyd Wright’s Tallisen West for the tour – very cool – and then on to REI for another pair of “good” shorts and another bag so I can sort out my stuff better. Later I had drinks with Bob and Sig before our pasta dinner. We’ve labeled it “Tour ‘d Puddin’”, so far we’ve had puddin out of the can, puddin’ at the Sizzler (best so far) and now puddin’ in the pie.
