We had breakfast at the space age Best Western in Gila Bend and then biked towards Buckeye AZ. The ride was uneventful and not very long (40 miles). Again I am amazed at the kindness of strangers, we were on a two lane with a shoulder and a semi behind and one coming towards, the hang on moment when the wind hits. Instead the semi behind us slowed then moved over to pass and give a thumb up. We have had far more experiences like that then the alternative. We found a hotel (Holiday Inn Express) and booked on-line at a gas station along the way.
The staff at the Holiday Inn has been great, even allowing us to was the bikes! We are taking a rest day before heading to Phoenix where another friend will join us. One of the nice things by the hotel is a grocery store where I can buy fruits and vegetables - my lunch both days with a bit of turkey. We also used the laundry machines, they work much better than stomping clothes in the bathtub!
