Today’s ride from Deming to Las
Cruces was a 63 mile ride, very similar to yesterday. It was pretty uneventful,
so only a few things to report from the road.
- The
grasshoppers returned for the middle stretch of our ride, but today they were
brown instead of green and much livelier than yesterday. One jumped on my leg
and one on my shoe. They were so dense I could feel the weight of the bug through
my shoe. It caused a scene.
- The gift
shop we passed today was advertising “guy stuff”. I’ve got to get to the bottom
of this marketing campaign.
- We had a
beautiful ride coming into town today with the backdrop of the rugged Organ
Mountains and the crossing of the Rio Grande. I really like this town.
I’m sad today is our last day in New
Mexico. Tomorrow, it's on to Texas for 2 full weeks. I’ve loved the great weather, good roads, friendly people, and hatch chilies
they put on everything – pizza, salads, eggs, etc. It really is the Land of Enchantment.
