Today was an uneventful 62 mile day. We did have some headwinds but we took it easy after an adventure yesterday. Jim, Bonnie and I rode most of the day together with Jim pulling us into the headwinds. He is riding really strong into the ride with over 1100 miles. We had some options but they seem minor relative to our hike yesterday but were beautiful.We got into Tucumcari around 2:30, got a milk shake and had a wonderful dinner where a local (third-generation) lady gave us the history of the town. We all love stopping here and staying at the Blue Swallow which has one of the best neon signs on Rt. 66. You always want to stay here a day or two longer.
Tonight we rest before an 80 mile ride into the forecasted headwinds. Note to self: look for a pace line. The day after that is a token 35 mile ride to the finish of the tour.
