 Wednesday, May 18th .... I finished the day early!  I left the hotel at 7:00 a.m. this morning and was at the next hotel in Grants by 12:30 p.m.  I had my first flat tire but also had the help of two other riders in repairing it.  My average speed was down a bit as the last six miles I just slowed down to see the sights of Grants.  Generally, an easy ride!

Today was the best ride I've had yet!  I rode over 95 miles and had my best average speed 17.8 mph over the entire ride.  Of course, I had significant downhill plus a following wind to push me along!  However, I was fighting this upper respiratory infection which is not a minor issue! Great day!
