Hello Life Ride followers. Today was a really enjoyable day and full of noteworthiness; the scenery from Santa Fe to Las Vegas, NM was absolutely beautiful: full of green pine trees and layered red rocks, we reached our high point of the tour: 7450 feet above sea level, and we broke 1000 miles total thus far for the tour!!!
Day 16: 73.3 miles, 16.2 mph average, 3670 feet of climbing.......
We rode most of the day on old Route 66....
.... portions of which are called the Santa Fe trail.
