It was my privilege to serve as the "host" for the Rapha Continental ride, which wound its way around, through, up and down Navajo country, in North Eastern Arizona.


The route began from the parking lot of the Thunderbird Lodge, at the mouth of Canyon de Chelly National Monument. We rode through colorful red rock country, past a variety of Navajo communities, including Chinle, Many Farms, Round Rock, Tasile, and Lukachukai.


Much thanks to Jean Ray, who both drove much of the way to and from Arizona, and who served as the support vehicle/photography vehicle driver.


Technical Note: All photographs made with a Panasonic Lumix TZ5 digicam, which was compact and offered a terrific zoom range, from wide to telephoto.

Dawn Breaks over the Rapha Van

We planned for a 7:00 start. This was the wake-up view from my motel room.

Along Highway 191

The "Indian Country" map, put out by the Auto Club, is my favorite map - I love the colors and, to my ear, exotic-sounding names.

Dying Technology

We approached the start of the ride from Southern California, passing along a stretch of old Route 66 in Arizona at sunset. It's too bad we could bike to the start of the ride, or take public transportation - I'm not sure which would have caused more difficulty.
