Day 16 - Santa Fe New Mexico to Albuquerque New Mexico 75 miles

After two and a half weeks, the adventure called the Ridge of the Rockies has ended. It concluded with a leisurely 75 mile ride from Santa Fe this morning. I apologize that the pictures from the last several days have been lacking but after Colorado, it is more difficult to find really good scenery. Colorado really raises the bar.

The highlight of today for me was a 20-mile long descent in to Albuquerque to finish the trip. We descended from the very cool high desert to warm Albuquerque here in the Rio Grande Valley.

Later this afternoon we will have a banquet which will be our final meal together as a group. It will be a good chance to swap stories and memories and say our goodbyes before going our separate ways.

I will post a separate blog entry later with some final thoughts on the overall trip. Suffice it to say, it was a great adventure very blessed by great weather and, most importantly, everyone arrived here in Albuquerque safely after over 1,700 miles of cycling.
