This blog will allow anyone to follow me on this attempted cross country bicycle trip from the Pacific to the Atlantic to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Tax deductable donations can be made at www.main.acsevents.org/goto/bobmarincic which is listed below with a link, or send a check made out to the American Cancer Society to Bob Marincic, 333 Thirty Foot Trail, Oglesby, Il. 61348. I will try to blog every day while riding, but I may be limited by my location and internet service.

Day 10 Apache Junction Az to Globe Az 57.6 mi 9 hrs 97 deg 20 mph headwind
Nobody said this was going to be easy. Met Tim and Fay at 5:30 in the dark to start. Route 60 as we found out, is a very busy route to NM, traffic at all hours. 20 mph winds lasted all day long, making even downhills hard. I had to look more than once thinking I may have a flat tire because of the slow speed. By the time we got to Superior Az after about 30 miles everyone was whipped. We decided to stay the night, but after some breakfast I felt better and decided to go to Globe our original destination. Fay was exploring and I did not get to say goodby. The 9 mile ascent east of Superior was steep, narrow at times, and in your face winds.
