PacTour AZ Day 2 Saddle's Sore

The hills on the road towards Tombstone are really cool.  You can imagine cowboys and indians going at it around these, for sure.

It wouldn't be Tombstone without a stagecoach, now would it!?!?

1 downside of riding on the back of the tandem is this is your predominant view all day...

The Bisbee coffee shop is always a highlight stop.

The Queen Copper mine leaving Bisbee is spectacular.

We dined at the Gadsden Hotel in Douglas tonight.  These stairs have a chip in the 7th row, allegedly where Pancho Villa rode his horse up them.

Fun day today.  We left Sierra Vista and rode thru Tombstone.  Paul got off the tandem for a while as his saddle was uncomfortable.   This left the Turk stoking for Jim up the signature climb of the day - 6 miles - leading to Bisbee.  Turk and Jim descended into Bisbee for coffee, then enjoyed a 20 miles of downhill and tailwind to lunch.

Paul got back on the tandem at lunch and finished the day with Jim, so all's well that ends well.

Tomorrow we do 100 miles, from Douglas, AZ to Lordsburg AZ.  Matt's dad, the original Don, once described Lordsburg as "what it will all look like as we near the end of time..."  Quite true, unfortunately.
