A very tired and dry sounding Simon just called from Pie Town. No pie though! The cafe was closed, but fortunately the Post Office was open and he'd posted himself a care package.
He had just had 16 miles of slightly rolling uphill, with corrugations & a headwind- so didn't sound like it was much fun.
Yesterday he did 270km. Saw a herd of about 20 red deer.
Fortunately it's not too hot today (he said it was 24 deg. C). He might only go on another 20 miles today.
But it gave him a real lift when Janet & Bill (my folks who we are staying with in Santa Fe) offered to go down and retrieve him from the border. We had been wondering how to manage it, the prospect of driving down there (about 8 hours from here) with a one year old wasn't very appealing, so we are super grateful that they have volunteered!
