Another great day here in Las Cruces!  We slept like 10hs (some of us more than others), had a nice breakfast, set up our bikes and off we were to the Transmountain ride (check it out here: www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/nm/las-cruces/388787148).  The weather was nice and a little less windy than yesterday (but still pretty windy for what we are used in the Northeast).  The first section of the ride is pretty flat for almost 40 miles and then you start climbing steadly for 9+ miles (very nice climb that reminded me of the Ironman Canada course) and do a loop back towards route 28 with some false flats.  The wind coming back kept testing our mental toughness... we kept telling ourselves "this is good training for IM Arizona and RAAM, so just suck it up princess!".  Andrea and I got separated from Jacqui at the beginning, so by the time we got to the hotel we figured she would be back already.  As it turned out, Jacqui got lost and ended up riding 6+hs! Ouch. 

We can't wait to hear the stories from the Tour of California!  And how the weekend of the rest of riders/crew in DC is going.

Safe riding!
