Day 7 Goodyear, Az

Hello everyone updating here. Were in Goodyear, Az at a relatives. we got here around 11:30 am yesterday after leaving at 3:15 in the morning to beat the heat. Yesterday we got some lunch upon arrival and basically chilled inside in the ac and updated the website, did some laundry, and drank lots of water. Got a good nights sleep last night finally, and a good homemade breakfast this morning. Today we ran some errands, we both took our bikes to a local bike shop to get the chains cleaned, Brian got a slit in his rear tire and got the tire and tube replace as well as the derailer adjusted. We also stopped by REI to purchase some road biking sandals that have clip ins on them, because of the heat our feet start to swell and make it very uncomfortable in our small biking shoes. As well as some bandannas that have small beads in them that you can soak in the water and they keep cool, as well as some water bottles with insulation. We were not really prepared for the heat. But now we should be able to get through it a bit better. So for the rest of the day were are going to recuperate have some good food and drink lots. Tomorrow we are heading to Casa Grande, Az which is about 75 miles south of us towards Tucson (about the halfway point from Phoenix to Tucson) and then the next day we are making our way to Tucson, Az!
