Very pleasant weather today except the wind again became an issue in the afternoon. The morning started with a 28 mile ride to 7275 feet elevation at the Continental Divide, where we had our SAG stop. Then eastward on Rt 66 to Grants NM. The last 20 miles were quite difficult with a robust head wind. Most of the riders rewarded their selves on the way into town with a stop at the local Dairy Queen.
Grants is a small town with a population around 9000. It has seen better days. It is best know for the nearby uranium mines which made it a boom town during the Cold War era.
Staying at a Holiday Inn Express tonight with dinner at Denny's.
