Well, whatever yesterday lacked in excitement, today made up for it. Not that anything should have been unusual, just that the guys had 9 flat tires! Yes 9. So even though our trip to Las Cruces was a relatively short one, it seemed that we never got more than 2 or 3 miles without a flat. I had to catch up about every 5 minutes so they had the tire pump handy. Anyway, here we are, and we have another wonderful couple, the Quinlans (Pat and Jean) giving us a great spaghetti dinner and spiffy sleeping accommodations. When we arrived in town we had to take pictures of our crossing the Rio Grande river. Then we went to 2 bike shops to buy new tires, which will hopefully decrease the frequency of flats. When we arrived at the Quinlans Monty and Dave had to install the new tires to be ready for tomorrow. After dinner and super chocolate pie, we talked a lot and then, as usual, got our computers out to do stuff like this, Kind of rude I guess. But we are doing our blogs in the living room and mixing it with conversation.
Alamogordo is our goal for tomorrow, Some fun hill climbing for our bike riders (but I hope no flat tires). Everyone is well and still in good spirits. More tomorrow, or whenever I get around to it.
