Day Ten - It's All Down Hill From Here

Today we made it to the Continental Divide. While we know that we still face some climbs, in a sense it is all down hill from here. We covered 66 miles and made it to Deming, NM by 9:30 am, just in time for second breakfast. It was a wonderful day! We are happy to report that we had NO flats to add to our totals!

The weird sighting for the day was a dead porcupine and the cool sighting was a live jackrabbit racing along the edge of the road faster than we could bike!

We stopped at a DQ in town where a man asked if he could check out our bikes. He turned out to be the editor of the local newspaper, The Deming Headlight. He snapped our photos on his iPhone and we gave him our blog address and told him about Destiny Rescue. We are available for autographs at the Roadrunner RV Park through this evening.

    Hey Rick and Robin- way to go. Our thoughts are with you both. Just an amazing feat of athleticism, mental strength, and will power. Our prayers are with you guys!!! Have never gotten a flat on a bike but do you fall off or are you able to just slow down and stop w/o crashing? Be safe out there...glad you have a doctor on board. Love you two... Mark & Toni
