Day 8: Mesa to Tonto Basin (71 miles) March 19

Today was all uphill, well mostly. 7,000 foot climb. Hills are making me stronger. It was all mental today with some muscle memory!💪🏻🚴🏻‍♀️🌵🏜 So many Saguaro and barrel cacti on both sides of the roads.

There was a last minute change to our hotel reservations so our group was split up tonight. Early morning tomorrow. Bikes and bags in the lobby by 6:30.
