Today we had a ride of about 55 miles from Portales, NM to Muleshoe, TX. We crossed a state line and another time zone. We’ve left the land of enchantment, and entered the land of steak dinners and cows. The ENTIRE ride today reeked of cows and manure, and it was the second day of the trip that was completely flat. Being over the continental divide is awesome.
Today Troy Hoffman and I made the ride a little bit more challenging by electing to remain standing on our bikes for the entire day. We never sat down in the saddle, and stayed in our biggest gears for most of the day. We were pushing at around 20 - 22 mph the whole day and our legs were burning at the end. It was worth it though to complete another fun challenge.
Not much to say today. It was a pretty short ride, and there was no friendship visit, but hey I’m almost back to the Eastern Time Zone!
