| Early morning just out of Seligman |
Route 66 the whole day and most of the day, it was exclusively ours. Very little trafic, desert as wide as you can see. The entire day we had to bike with little breaks, because we had a nasty and steadily increasing headwind that at the end had us completely exhausted.

The last 30 km were one straight line with a very rough shoulder. That and the hard headwind slowed us down to 15 km/h. So for two hours we saw Kingman, but it approached painfully slow. And, of course, driving on these shoulders easy gets biker in trouble because of all the debris and busted tires on it. Frank started losing air on his back tire. But we had god luck. Luckily we quickly found a piece of tire steel wire sticking in the tire. We could pull it out and at a nearby gas station we could pump the tube up again. We were curious, whether the liquid in the tube seals it as promised. It worked, we did not have to disassemble everything. After a short break, we could continue, with great relieve.
