There was a choice of breakfasts today, basic at the hotel or the full deal about 1 mile ride away. So I rode the mile for pancakes,eggs,bacon and maple syrup, orange juice and coffee.
Return to hotel for a 7.45pm start. There is a tradition to sprinkle some Pacific beach sand at the foot of each state sign to encourage good wind directions. Well it worked today wind was behind or to the side.
We passed some red rocks
-
We had a gradual pull up to the Continental Divide at 7,275 feet and stopped for a break.
We then had a great flat or downhill run into Grants with an early finish today.
Most of the riding has been along Route 66. Whilst interesting the area is generally very run down and lots of closed motels etc.
Stopped at a shop for refreshments, decided not to buy a gun.
Rode all day in a four man pace line which worked very well.
As we got in early did a little preventative maintenance on the bike and some washing.
Eleven days of riding and feeling good generally. Enjoying the experience of the adventure.
