| Welcome to Arizona! |
Today we took the 80 mile option :). We left with the group and rode to Bisbee. Bisbee seems to be like the Topanga of Arizona. Cool, funky, hippy town. Lot's of history. But perhaps best of all is the Bisbee Bicycle Brothel. Such an amazing place that we're going to give it its own blogpost.

After espresso in Bisbee we left the group and set out just the 2 of us for Sierra Vista. It was an adventure to be out on our own, no support vehicles, in an area we didn't know and only 2 miles from the Mexican border. We made good work of it and rode strongly to Sierra Vista where we stopped for lunch at Chipotle, 62 miles into our ride.

After lunch it was just 1 road to take us back to Tombstone, 18 miles away. We found some frozen yogurt (Shuli) and ice cream (Joel) and went back to the hotel. A successful day of 82 miles.

| Can you see Tombstone off in the distance? |
