Truck Ride with Bike

It was a Big Truck Ride, a Road Trip from Albuquerque to Flagstaff. That how it happened.

After a lunch at 66 Pit Stop to the West from Albuquerque, New Mexico, I was biking where R66 goes along the highway. As usual for this special summer, a big storm came and a truck driver, going to LA, passed me, made a u-turn and took me inside!
He agreed to drive the old Route 66, so I didn’t miss anything. We end up in Flagstaff, he gave me a room to sleep in his truck. In the morning, we walk in downtown and have a breakfast in old Route 66 restaurant. Then I asked him to drop me in Williams because I decided to use “saved” days for biking in Grand Canyon. He changed my tires, lubricated the chain, fixed the brakes, and left to Los Angeles.
