Santa Fe layover – Day 2

It was another very laid back day. Most everyone is in R&R mode before we hit the road again tomorrow!  Some of us decided to take the bus into town around 11am but the bus never showed up!!  Not quite sure what happened – we were at the right stop at the right time but the scheduled bus never arrived.
Kiwi John, Leendert (Dutch), Kate, Cathy and Ben waiting for the bus - that never came!

They only run once an hour so the others decided to walk in to town – about 3.5 to 4 miles one way!  Since I had ridden my bike in yesterday I decided to pass. I just hung out, re packed all of my gear,checked my bike and just took it easy. Tomorrow we are heading for Cedar Crest, NM – about 50 miles and 3,100 feet of climbing away.  The weather is supposed to be nice but it is pretty cool in the morning – high 30s, low 40s!  And now we are starting to fight the day light as well because the days are getting shorter!  We think we have acclimated to the 7,000 foot elevation but I guess we’ll see tomorrow when we start climbing!  Three weeks from right now I should be back home and I’m ready!  It feels like I’ve been gone forever.
