Rich's #8


Strangely I awoke feeling fresher than any day on the trip so far - including day 1. The copious amounts of radian b I'd massaged into my legs had worked wonders and today was my best days cycling.

The scenery was not a patch on yesterday but the lack of wind and relative gentleness of all the slopes (with the exception of the last one that Phil, Andy and Ian had) meant that good progress was made all day through to Dulce in New Mexico, our resting place for the evening.

Top marks to the Dit Meister General for some fantastic lunch and the whole team really for pulling together really well.

Spirits were good today as along with decent roads mobile phone coverage resumed and we could all catch up with news from home.

Tomorrow promises to be an extraordinary day taking us to our highest point as we climb up to 10,500 ft and then on to Taos where it seems the whole town is coming out to welcome us.

Time for more radian b.
