Willcox, Arizona: January 14, 2010

I stopped at a rest area just before I got to Willcox to change into my cycling clothes; however, there were a lot of truckers at there and I thought it might be more prudent to choose another place to change into my cute little bike shorts and jersey lest one of them take a particular liking to my outfit! So I went into Willcox and out on a local road and found a place to change. After changing I went to my trunk to get my shoes and to prepare the bike when I noticed my bike pump was missing. After calling the motels and hotels, I finally remembered leaving it on the bike rack with intentions of putting it into the trunk. Someone must have taken a liking to my bike pump and decided to make it their own. Remember I had a flat the day before and still only had 65 pounds of air pressure. I was so disappointed with needing only 10 miles to finish Arizona the prudent thing to do was to ride another day. I drove on home the same day…
