Wind is our friend. Wind is our friend.

Have I mentioned that a lot about the last few days have reminded me
of Wyoming? The part of new Mexico we have been in has seemed a lot
like the area around Laramie, wy where I got my bachelors from. The
biggest reminder has been the wind. Wow has the wind been blowing and
you can tell from the locals that it is the norm, just like in
Laramie. Brian asked in a store if it was always this windy and she
said "oh, is it windy today?" and while I grew up with the wind biking
in it is a whole different ball game. Today our first 20ish miles was
mostly head wind or really strong from the side and we thought about
calling it a day at lunch but after lunch to over 30, we had a good
tail wind or small side wind and even a few moments of no wind. The 30
was so much faster and nicer than the 20. If you are interested go to
weather.com and check out the weather for las cruces nm. It's windy
and hot. Good times. We will be heading into big ol Texas tommorow and
staying with friends of friends and look forward to some downtime.
Need to thank a former RA of mine for being our sponsor for the day!
MAGAT you rock. Hope you are doing well and whenever you are ready to
join us you let me know.
Ps - in case you know the area we did have our fair share of hatch
chile concoctions.
