Superior to Globe

Today was a long ride up a dangerous hill with a scary tunnel.  We finally made it to Globe, checked into our motel and toured the town.  We found a giant inflatable wizard that looks remarkably similar to our mascot.  We also found, believe it or not, the worlds tallest 3 story building.  And we toured a historical museum.

On the way up the hill we passed a biker from Alaska also riding across the country.  He was carrying a lot more gear and going slower then we.

Our ride to Globe was 24 miles but we rode around town touring to make our total ride 29 miles with an average speed of 7.4. 

The truth from Ruth:  Okay, that tunnel was the worst riding experience we've had yet.  The traffic sounded so loud, and since it was dark, I was afraid we couldn't be seen.  Right before we entered the tunnel, we found an orange reflective vest on the side of the road.  Jeff told me to pick it up, because it was much better than a cheap one we brought.  I put it on through the tunnel, and I felt like we had some extra protection.
I really enjoyed touring the historical town today.  There were some beautiful churches, and the post office and courtroom were interesting too.  It was nice to finally have some extra time to look around.
