Phoenix continued into second week

So we cycled round the estate working off the vast amounts of food that Nigel and Sue forced us to eat, along with the most fabulous Californinan wines. The Passover meal was one of the most memorable as Nigel and I found a butcher in Cave Creek where we got a 15 pound leg of lamb which Nigel spit-roasted on his humungous gas barbecue by the pool (how they have suffered for the Gospel!!). Did you know that there are 4 toasts throughout the Passover meal which have to be done with different wines? Suffice to say we were biblically accurate and went an extra mile!!



Anyway whilst we were exercising Nigel and Sue practiced for their retirement sitting out on their porch, don`t they look lovely for such old people?
Later in the week Nigel and I did a 4.8 mile hike in the hills by Cave Creek in the blazing heat and developed a raging thirst that could only be quenched at a genuine cowboy Saloon where they were doing a special price on chilled ice cold beers $1 pint which washed down a big dish of guacomole and melted cheese with chips. We sat at the table under the Welcome Bikers sign in the shade! Did I mention how hot it was??
