New state. New time zone!

So we're now out of Texas for good and in New Mexico! We rode 70 miles today to Logan, NM from Dalhart, TX and in between the two places I think we passed a total of 4 buildings...and one of them (a post office) was actually open. It was a tough day of riding today with the strong headwind that we faced most of the day. It's funny how different days can be. Yesterday we rode 80 miles, with a slight tailwind and we made it to the host site before 1pm. It was a breeze. And today was less mileage, and it took almost 2 hours more. The wind and road conditions make such a big difference.

We're now in Mountain time! One time zone away from CA! It's hard to believe that exactly a month from today we will be riding in to San Francisco! It's been such an amazing trip so far I can't really imagine it ending at this point. If anyone is interested in coming to our end of the trip bash in San Fran on August 17th please contact me as soon as possible and let me know. Anyone would be welcome. We'll have a lot to celebrate!

Thanks mom for the package that I received today! It totally made my day. That homemade card was the best, everyone was impressed. And the Turkish cookies were amazing too. There's no pressure for anyone to send me mail, but if you are interested I should mention that if you go to the Bike and Build website (bikeandbuild.org) and click on the link for Mail Drops it tells you where and how to address mail. Edible things are always welcome, and cards are great. But preferably nothing that would require me to carry it around the rest of the trip.

We'll be in Santa Fe this weekend, which is really exciting. And we're all thinking about the Rocky Mountains that are looming in our very near future.

Oh yeah, and in two day we'll be in Las Vegas. Las Vegas, New Mexico thoguh, which confused a few people on our trip who thought we were actually going to Vegas. I douibt that the one in New Mexico compares, but we'll know soon enough.
