MAY 29-- Tomorrow, we head out of Santa Fe to Taos and then on to Colorado.... We should be in Durango in a few days. Its so nice to stop and hang out in a place for a while, drink some espresso, eat some tasty food, but then it always feels good to get back on the bikes and keep moving. We're going to hit mountains now, so the past months of training will be put to the test! Dread. A little bit of dread....this is serious business. But, I know it will be fine. Everything is conquerable in tiny incriments, that's one thing I've learned. And we hope to hit some great hotsprings on the way, which is good incentive. Soothing the quad pain in a rock pool bubbling with hot, lithium-rich water sounds like the perfect way to end a day of endless climbing. Doesn't it?
