Downhill with a tailwind - does it get any better?
We spent most of the day on old Route 66 which parallels I-40. The pavement was smooth, there was very little traffic, it's mostly downhill to Albuquerque, and the wind was at our backs. I took advantage of the conditions and rode like the wind. I was slowed by construction in town and lots of long stoplights but the rest of the ride was fantastic. Oh, yes, it was 36 degrees when we left Grants, but skies were clear and temperatures warmed up as the day wore on. And there was a Dairy Queen at the second SAG stop! Big grin.
