hey what's up world. Today I'm going to be
riding 100 miles up to Payson. This is all part of a tour that I'm going all the way up to
Flagstaff so basically I'm going to be going up to Payson from Phoenix then into the lake
Mormon Lake area to Flagstaff then down to Sedona up and over Jerome and down into Prescott and
then finally I'll make the final descent back back home down here into a Peoria (Phoenix
area) this should definitely be interesting um last year i did 200 so this year
it should be interesting doing 400 but anyways i'll show you guys the bike
here okay i got the whole bike loaded up got the sleep system here got my water got some
morning influence here i don't drink coffee some granola bars batteries my helmet tools and
and of course all my batteries there's three batteries there and then all my clothes and of
course i got my little mini drone back there also but so i'm gonna get off it's about two
o'clock in the morning on more than fourth all right made it down to shea a little bit a
couple miles past tatum got a probably about 20 20 more miles to go that
way until the d-line highway and then pretty much up i climb for 60
more miles from there the b-line nice wow uh all right v-line highway sun's coming up
about 40 miles into it it's 48 degrees right now i actually don't mind all that much
feels slightly cold but also a little warm so it's cooling me off this is the way to ride in
arizona unfortunately it's not the best for video you can't really see the desert or anything
but sun is coming up gotta love the downhills okay i'm about 32 to 35-ish miles from prescott
stopped in this little spot take a rest take a green break and my calves a little bit of
a rest the motor motor cool down on the e-bike but yeah i'm on my second battery now the first one
lasted about 70 miles be expected uh how many thousands of feet i'm climbing up and everything
here so it's a nice little spot by a tree here okay done with my break and i just gotta ride up
the big old mountain for like 30 umpteen miles all right i can do this i got this oh that's what i see oh oh oh i gotta get oh oh i must push a bike
almost hike the bike up that damn thing associated so maybe i found the old abandoned uh rest stop
it's like uh somebody broke into the vending machine you can see rats actually making
a nest into this thing it's pretty wild yeah there's another other one looks like this
is probably been closed down longer than discover kind of weird i was gonna try to
bleach a little bit of power here but looks like they got the power totally
off on this thing so no luck there but it'll make a nice little place to
take a rest i think yeah you can see one of the bathrooms here if somebody's
already broke the walk i did not do this but yeah it's been it's been so long
that chicago was coming up everywhere wow that's a shame that was gonna get power oh
well stinky phone was getting dangerously low on battery it was like uh 20 so basically did
this to uh charge my phone off the controller my controller has apple juice like i could
do i could use all my drone batteries and that thing would still be full so let's
see what it's got it too oh i'm up at 32 so yeah i mean it's slow it would take four
hours to charge it all the way but still nice in a pinch i could also use the drone batteries to
do this but those are a little bit uh well i want those for the drone so i know this one has access
i could also use my bike batteries but i still got 18 miles to pedal or so so i want those too
um still on the second battery it's about 50 from that i think i'll be good good just to
get up to the room and get charged up again my legs definitely need this rest i'm way
ahead of schedule so i'm sitting here kind of kind of just basically stalling
time at this abandoned rest stop i'm not too sure why this rest stop is is
abandoned um not that bad of shape i mean somebody's pushed over the ashtrays i'm currently
sitting on one but somebody's also throwing rocks rocks in the windows and the rats are making
nests and the reeses of somebody broke into not sure not sure why fire state's not opening
this they could they took all the tables out not too sure how how long this has been
closed i don't know somebody knows uh post down in the comments below about
17 miles out of prescott on the b-line maybe somebody knows more information about
this place i went looking around a little bit more just to kind of check it out place is
definitely abandoned kind of sad looks like once it probably costs millions of dollars but as you
see all the every last sign has been removed the bathroom signs all the parking signs looks like
a place was broken a couple times and they just welded uh steel plates over one of the side doors
i was trying to look for the electrical panel but yeah of course i'm not gonna mess with your
steel steel plate i bet i could anyway kind of a nice little place to rest if you're on a
bicycle for uh about 20 18 miles out of prescott it's got uh well this is where i'm i'm
currently at i'm resting there he's in the ashtray as a bench they've been long abandoned
for quite a while they left up some of the signs see that one that one's sidewalks coming
apart as you can see even even the signs over here have been been removed wonder why
they shut it down i don't know unwordable out of the abandoned rest stop bye bye
abandon rest stop sorry you were abandoned uh it's not very wheelchair
accessible but they got the one charlie all right all right made it up to the very low part of
the trees where they kind of look like tree bushes here man this is this is definitely a lot
harder going up this way than prescott um a lot of climbing crab ton of climbing already on my third
battery hopefully i can make it without them dying anyways onward and fourth oh made it to payson nice um this side is
much harder than riding up to prescott i don't know how many passes i had to come up to
the top and drop but yeah i'm on my third battery definitely definitely the hardest climb i've
done as of yet uh but yeah woohoo made it nice now then see if i can check in early comfort in yes all right let's see what uh 98 dollars
get you in payson arizona all right tiny little thing
shower nothing special there all right got a chair bed see how that it air conditioning that's important
yeah cool got a little desk nice the tv takes hdmi so that means i can
hook my phone up as into dex mode all right all right it's in the drawer
is there a bible in there nope old-school tradition i'm gonna go get
into the shower that's always i stink um that was definitely the the hardest mountain i've
ever grown up uh is definitely very very very challenging to ride from peoria to payson
anybody wants a good challenge try that one much easier to do the prescott
side anyways i'm off to the shower like i climbed 4000 feet three times
anyways i'm gonna get some rest now
