Today was a fast, fun, and long ride. After spending the night in Kingston, New Mexico, we quickly dropped in elevation and had a mostly flat ride, except for one little 3 mile climb. Highlights of today's ride included seeing elk in the early morning hours as we started out, crossing the Rio Grand river, going through chili growing area, and having frozen yougurt at the end of the ride. I'm amazed at the changing terrain, as today we rode through mountain, desert, and pecan groves. It is extremely dry here and we saw lots of evidence of fires.
The total milage today was 88 miles. Tomorrow we will ride to El Paso Texas--now our fourth state. It will take us 20 days to ride across Texas, so it will be a while before we have another state line crossing party.
