Wet and Windy

Today weather called for a chance of showers. At the start it was windy and at around the 9.3 mile mark we started to climb against the wind. At about the 15 mile mark Al (Michigan man) joined us. His wife flew into town and she drove along the route.

It was a pretty strong wind and we reached the SAG at around 3o mile mark. Right after the SAG a dog started running towards us. Although there was a fence the dog went under and chased Harry before giving up and returning home. It chased no other rider. It started to rain for about 6-7 miles. Fortunately I had my rain gear so I was pretty warm. We passed by the town of Madrid and continued on to the San Marcos cafe at the 54 mile mark(below is Harry leaving the restaurant. I ordered the red chili stew which warmed me up.

After that we continued to Santa Fe
