New Mexico black top rides like Euro. pave
Was able to leave work early and hit the road out to Chupadero on Wednesday.Beautiful 50 degrees with very cold descents.Dropping into the village of Tesuque was my first real shocker on how cold the descents are going to be.Within 30 seconds I had a wicked ice cream headache.Some day when I Have a $1,000,000. I'm going to buy me a fixer upper in Tesuque.This stretch of the road with the trees creating a cave and the picket fence always reminds me of where it all started for me and my passion for cycling, in Upstate NY.Shidoni sculpture gardens and foundry is always a popular spot to take visitors.No dogs allowed !Guess I'll keep moving along.
Between Tesugue and the village of Chupadero,NM pretty much looks like this.The entrada to the montana's also known as the beginning of the dirt road to the Ski Santa Fe aka Pacheco Canyon road.Its going to be one hell of a snow melt this year and that will make a good spring of white water rafting ! Which, I said I'll never do again after the last experience.
`St. Frances de Assisi Cathedral down town Santa Fe.Then up Canyon Road,you know the street if you have visited Santa Fe.Where most of the art galleries are located...Negotiating the streets of Santa Fe on bike.Come on just a little more to go and my reward is awaiting.
Cheers.

Like your blog, Mark. Might have to start one myself someday. Nice to see somebody's riding. It's going to be rough spring for me as I try to get my old fat azz back in shape.
