My Experience

New Mexico was a source of frustration for me, long stretches between amenitities, major bicycle maintenance problems, and steep climbs made for tough moments while riding at a crucial point where there was little to no energy. The northern part of the state certainly ranks as the most scenic area of the state but the people were more than friendly in every part. Roads not so bad for cycling, if you are OK with hills! A welcome change to have weather in the mid 80's.

Spare a Patch Kit?

Feel like helping me along a bit as I go? Any donations will go to maintenance, repair, and what the heck - likely some beer too.
