Grants, NM

76 miles, 6:56/9:15

This is our longest day in both miles and time. We face a headwind almost all day, but at least it has cleared up and it’s a great temperature for riding. The desert is beautiful, with all the colors of grasses and flowers and bushes in this late summer/early autumn time. We roll over hill after hill, noting the few cliffs and features in the landscape. We pass a couple very ugly uranium mines.

We decide to take a rest day here in Grants and the Lavaland RV Park on the edge of town. The people are very nice and there’s wireless internet at the senior center next door.
