Day 10 Saturday March 28: Rest Day (sort of) in Las Cruces

Miles Today: 35 Total Miles: 847
Temp: 60-65 Terrain: Flat in Town


This is really the first of two consecutive rest days, with only a brief ride to get through the busy part of Las Cruces on a weekend rather than Monday morning. This longer layover will allow Don more rest and for Penny to take part in the Bataan Death March Memorial Race at White Sands Missile Base. We arrived on the military base early afternoon (after Penny took a scenic detour into Texas and back!). We met up with about a dozen running friends from Minnesota and set up our camp in tent city, namely the recreation area of the missile base. Now we await an early wakeup (4am bugle call) for the start of the race.



Yours on the Road,

Don and Penny
