Tempe to Superior

After a fancy breakfast with the Crumps, we left Tempe and headed back out on the road.  It took 3 hours just to get out of town because the Phoenix area is so huge.  Traffic was moving very slowly on the freeway so we passed a lot of cars.  Everyone was going to the Renaissance Festival.  We considered attending but the tickets were 22 bucks.

We got photos of the Superstition Mountains and the desert scenery.  Finally we arrived at the tiny town of Superior, with the world's smallest museum. 

There is a website called warmshowers.org that matches bike riders with people willing to share their home to them.  We met a couple there that opened their home to us in Superior.  One of the fun things about this trip is meeting interesting people.  Mari is an amazing artist and sculptor and her home is full of unique artwork. 

Overall the ride was pleasant, the weather was perfect, and we traveled 57.4 miles with an average speed of 10.5.
