Awkward

       I come along at the wrong time asking questions - packing up at the end of a long day before showering and finding a place to eat .

       Kathy and I had to go to Flag today and saw the riders with support vehicle leaving Holbrook on SR 181 a little after nine and I thought, "They're not racing so at a good average speed of 12 - 15MPH it'll take them six to eight hours to get to the Round Valley." Sure enough we caught up with the stragglers about eight miles out of Springerville on our way home at about 16:15.

       Had quite a chat with one of the riders Ed Keller (extra)
