Day 5

Got a 7:00 a.m. Start today. Nice 7 mile cruiser on asphalt to start.  Anna in the lead, rode along-side 4 elk for about a mile. Our challenge began when we turned onto gravel to follow the GDT route.  Took us the rest of the day to do 23 miles.  Lots of short-thigh kicking ups.  We did have a 3 mile screaming down into camp.  So steep, I had to stop three times to rest my wrists-the down-hill pressure so acute. Raining tonight.  Anna is using the neighbors water filter to get us clean drinking water for tomorrow.  I packed the wrong chemicals for my usual system. Bad Bahn! We'll make it...what's a little water on a NM bike ride?
