Wednesday morning's weather in New Mexico was far from ideal as Mom and the group set out to Grants. The wind chill was 39 F, with rain and a headwind to boot. The rain stopped after about 20 miles but started up again to wash away some of the mud that was caked onto the riders and their bikes. Thankfully the route only followed the interstate for a short while today, with the remainder on frontage and side roads. Mom had another flat, around mile 25. She later encountered a fellow rider, Cary, walking along the road about 17 miles from the finish. He had a punctured tire, so she stopped to give him her spare tube, tire and last CO2 cartridge. Mom got a "thank you" lunch in return, and later will get a replacement tire. Cary has been telling everyone that Mom picked up a hobo walking along the road! Her stats for the day: 68.9 miles, 4 hr 18 min, max speed 29.8, avg speed 16.8. As you can see in the photo, Wednesday's highlight was crossing the Continental Divide, elevation 7275 ft. When Mom called this evening, she had already eaten three snacks and it was an hour before dinner! Yes, she's still chowing down!
