What a glorius day! This is the kind of day that makes you remember why you love to ride a bike. I will admit that I was beginning to wonder after the freezing cold, and the snow, why in the world I embarked on this journey. But, alas, despite near freezing temps at the start this morning, the days ride was well worth it. We left our Las Cruces, NM hotel and pedaled through miles and miles of pecan groves and cotton fields, and fertile farm lands. The road was smooth, flat and fast! The 66 miles just flew by.
The pecan groves soon gave way to city as we rode through Sunland Park NM, then across the Rio Grande to the great state of Texas. We will be in TX for the next three weeks. It's a really big state! Lunch at the local Tony's Gorditas was a culinary treat, then on to a bike shop. It was time for brake cable replacement and a new chain. All is well and we rolled into the Comfort Inn at El Paso, just in time for a quick shower, laundry and a border crossing party. (we wont' have one of those again for a long time)
Tomorrow we pedal on to Fort Hancock, TX where there will be no internet service....so no update tomorrow night...
As usual, snug in bed looking forward to tomorrow.....
