It turned out to be one of those days on a bike that you don't want to end. We rode up the Turquiose Trail, so no Interstate riding, we actually did have a tailwind, and the views were spectacular.
We stopped in the funky little art town of Madrid for coffee and snacks...perfect.
We had 4721 feet of climbing in 68 miles but it was primarily big rolling hills with only one or two real climbs over passes.
Sadly, one of the three women in our group had to take a day off the bike today as she has developed some leg issues and will see a doctor in Santa Fe. We are all hoping she will be back on the bike soon. We have a rest day tomorrow ( Saturday) in Santa Fe...so it's laundry, clean bikes, etc.
I am getting a massage for the weary body...last 5 days: 398.9 miles, 11,698 feet of climbing.
Sunday we leave for Las Vegas, NM.
For those of you who said you have had trouble leaving comments, I think I have fixed it so try again. Thank you all for your emails, texts, comments, etc....all the encouragement has helped me keep going!
