Sunshine and a tailwind, combined with a cool start, pushed riders up and over the Continental Divide this morning. At SAG we discovered many of the riders had never experienced dipping apple slices in caramel as a refreshing and yummy treat. That, and a variety of mini doughnuts, kept everyone chatting as they took pictures and drank coffee.
Next, a long section of Historic Hwy 66 brought the tour to Grants, NM, a little town once depressed and now vibrant with life.
