Day Eleven - Stock Up and Laundry Day

It's a slow news day here in New Mexico. We rode 66 miles to Las Cruces and were pleases to find a bike shop here in order to replenish our tubes and co2 cartridges. These flats are getting expensive! We had the shop change out all four patched tubes on our bikes. Having had no flats today and now carrying a small stockpile of virgin tubes we were feeling pretty confident as we got back on the road for the 2.3 mile trip to the Siesta Campground. Imagine our sheer delight when with the campground sign in view, Rick's front tire went flat! Flat changed, we made it to camp where we spent some quality time at the laundromat. We are celebrating our last day in New Mexico by going out for Mexican food tonight. Olay!
