Route 66 Gallup, New Mexico to Amarillo, Texas: Aborting Trip and Packing Up for Flights Home June 2, 2019 Day 12

NM-TX ROUTE 66 ADVENTURE
"One Last Ride"
Day 12--4 miles 😁

Today, with some sadness, we made final preparations to leave Route 66 (for this segment) and head back to our respective homes in Arizona and Ontario.

Sun Adventure Sports in Amarillo was kind enough to set aside 2 bike boxes for us.  Just across the street from our motel is the Rock Island Rail Trail--a dedicated recreation path through the city, which took us close to the bike shop.  We disassembled and boxed up our bikes, and finalized our travel plans.

Tomorrow morning Kent and I will fly together to Dallas, where he'll then catch a plane to Detroit, while I head to Phoenix.  It's such an awesome experience having almost two weeks of 24/7 uninterrupted "brother time." 👬

We're tentatively planning to pick up our route here in late September or early October of 2020. Looking at weather patterns, we might be able to avoid both the heat and the storms at that time of year.




We appreciated the Multi-Use Trails, once railroad right of ways, through Amarillo to get our bikes to the bike shop for shipping home.
