We had a great ride today, highlighted once again by favorable winds and sunny skies. The route profile shows a V shape and we started and ended at about the same elevation. Despite that, to me it felt like we had more descents than climbs. We finished the first 100 miles in five hours and one minute so we averaged almost 20 mph. We slowed down when we got closer to Santa Fe as the last 30 miles was uphill.
I included some pictures of the Plaza area of Santa Fe that I thought were interesting. Santa Fe is a very old and unique city. Hopefully these pictures will be a nice change from the mountains and trees and rocks I've been showing.
Tomorrow, the last day of the trip, is a 75 mile ride, mostly downhill to Albuquerque. There is a chance of rain again but we hope our amazing good fortune of perfect weather will hold for one more day.
