Sunday April 10: Gallup to Grants

Snowed last night and when I looked up from eating french toast with real maple surup I saw more. Weather was a concern the entire way. It was cold and to the north and south there were snow showers. Perhaps I should have worn more layers, but on the other hand that may have created more sweat. I remember thinking with about 20 miles more to go, I'm just going to plug ahead even if it starts to rain.

Hit the continental divide 30 miles east of Gallup. Not dramatic like the summits in Colorado. There is not even an elevation sign at the exact point.

Wind again was behind me. I can't imagine trying to ride from east to west. I would have given up.

Swapped riding experiences with an interesting older bicycle rider I met at a Pizza Hut where I had lunch. He knew a lot about a lot and had definite ideas on nutrition - a subject that I think I should look into more.
