So our final day of our journey.... Let's just say it didn't turn out quite as planned! Graham had been having some issues with his crank/bottom bracket yesterday (where the pedal arm attaches to the frame for the non cyclists out there!).
Anyway we get only 13km's into our day and it broke! His crank arm is now off the bike and not able to be re-attached!!
Our only option.... hitch. Our trip was over and within 5 mins a nice gentleman had picked us up in his truck and we were headed for Phoenix. He had a lot of erons to run but we eventually got dropped off at the door of where we were staying in Phoenix.
We got a few last minutes of sunshine by the pool with a beer and then I fly back out tomorrow back to Vancouver.
It's been a great trip and have loved seeing a whole new area I hadn't explored before. We did miss out on what was probably going to be the best part of our route through Prescott and Sedona due to us staying longer in Palm Desert but thats all good as it means I will just have to return for another bike journey in the future!!
Happy New Year everyone, may you all have a fantastic fulfilling 2012!! What adventures are on everyone's calendar?
