Another fabulous day. Only 58 miles to ride, gorgeous weather and spectacular views. Today we found the best lunch spot yet and had the best lunch food. Josh's mom gave us a gift certificate to Trader Joe's and we had lunch meat, hummus and sprouts. We stopped at the Maya Art Cafe about 12 miles outside of Abiquiu Lake. Most of us hung out for over an hour enjoying lattes and good company. The climb at the end of the ride was rough but we were going right through huge red rock formations and it was amazing. And the lake and campground are worth it. We jumped right in the lake when we got there, jerseys, spandex and all. It was so fun and refreshing...I didn't even take a shower (we're camping anyway). Right now we're at the Ghost Ranch which was the summer residence of Georgia O'Keefe and I definitely wouldn't mind waking up to these views every morning. Claude's parents have arranged dinner for us here. It's really nice to have time to relax and enjoy each other's company when we're not all dying from difficult rides. These few days have been awesome :) We're uploading some more pictures to the Bike and Build website so if you want to see some shots other than my own, check out www.bikeandbuild.org and look for the Southern US Route photos.
Much love.
