Today was a nice long day with decent temperatures and some demoralizing climbing into Prescott, just when you start going downhill for long enough to think you are done, you get hit by another climb. Repeat five times and you get the idea. Before the climb we were treated to the most boring 50 miles of road, 30 miles straight, then a slight turn and another 20 miles straight. At least it was smooth, flat, there was no wind and the temperature was in the low 90's.

Sorry for the boring post, it was a long boring day.

Before the turn.

After the turn (if you zoom you can see the start of the climb).

Half way up. Hard to appreciate and you can see the road cutting the mountain on the right.
