Closing the loop…back to Texas

Riding Day 52    July 25

Taos, NM to Muleshoe, TX

Ride Mileage :  291        Weather condition: perfect morning then hot 

Total Mileage :  10,492

I think I forgot a bit over the last two months how hot it can be in Texas and today I just got a friendly reminder. 

I left Taos around 8am, temperature was just perfect for a morning ride on this  beautiful 518 road to Las Vegas, NM. Around 11am, no more mountains around just a flat desert and hot wind. Not fun to ride with all these heavy duty  gears but I really wanted to sleep in Texas tonight. I stopped about 30 miles after entering Texas in a little town called Muleshoe.
