Day 15 - 23.8 miles

Today was a short ride, but not too easy from my point of view.  We are over 6000 feet, and the route was a series of hills.  So we slog up the hills, then I get scared on the downhills.  My shoulders are VERY tight!  The most interesting sight was a huge open pit copper mine.  We can't possibly capture its size with our photos.  Since the ride was short, we all stopped for lunch at a really friendly restaurant in Mimbres. - Sue
Today was like a day off and I am feeling ready for tomorrow's ride which includes a 10 mile 6% grade.  This will take Sue and I at at least 2 hours to do.  We're ready or this.  The beauty of this ride remains breathtaking-Annie

  1. With no mention of saddle sores the Gods must have listened. Yeah! Think of the 2 hour uphill ride as just one of Norm's high intensity Sunday rides with an awesome view!
