    Distance: 72 miles average 12.6 Today I remembered what it’s like to ride without a lot of wind. I was able to get a lot of miles in without too mch trouble. No exciting destinations today, just my mom’s house and saguaro national park. It’s exciting because I did the whole day without much discomfort…
