| New Mexico to Arizona on I 40.
|
Straight forward easy ride today. When I started out from Santa Fe I was bit worried about my bikes performance. My gas mileage on one of the legs over Raton pass was 39 mpg. I had never seen a number like that. But today mileage was over 50 mpg! Yesterday I rode really hard, 75-80 mph against strong headwinds. Today I took it easy at 70 mph and had little wind. I guess a bike reacts to conditions more than a car. I love getting comments so please do post them; it makes me feel connected to all my friends.
Tomorrow I will have an easy day. I'll do some genuine sightseeing. By evening I will stop in Needles, and leave there at 7 in the morning to get over the desert well before noon.

Have done the drive to Needles many times - bet it is more fun on your bike! Enjoy.
How was your new gear in all that desert heat? Did it stay cool like it was supposed to?
Needles! The one time I drove through the temps were 114! Good luck. LOVE reading your blog. Thanks so much for sharing. The poem earlier made me cry. Looking forward to the next post!
