Day 15

Deming to Mesilla 66 miles 940 ft climbing

Back on the road again. Woohoo!!

A nice hotel breakfast delayed our start until 9:15. We had a strong tailwind most of the day along with fairly flat roads. Sunny and 40-65 degrees.

I had a flat tire midday that was the first one I’ve had touring including the whole 2017 TransAm cross country ride. Then it flatted again when I didn’t find the wire that caused it the first time.

We found a warmshowers host in Mesilla. Dan was very welcoming and showed us our own guest house and provided an evening meal for us. He is from Michigan and a Michigan State graduate so we had lots in common.

On the road again!
