Day 14 - 46.4 miles

Today we crossed the Continental Divide!  Hooray!!  We climbed around 4000 feet today, and had a great ride.  It was a much better day than yesterday.  Yesterday before dinner I thought I would never get on the tandem again.  A good dinner and the map meeting magically changed my mind, and I am very glad we rode today.  It was a lot of uphill, but we made it. - Sue

We are staying tonight and tomorrow at the Silver City RV Park, in Silver City, New Mexico, the town where Billy the Kid was first arrested, where Geronimo hid in the foothills and where Butch Cassidy and his gang raised some hell.  The ride today was great, but many, many long hills.  Sue is wearing a shade over bike helmet, she looks just like a fireman on bike!
