Santa Fe

We went to Santa Fe, NM over the fourth weekend and had a blast. We took both scooters and our road bikes. I am pretty sure we rode the scooters more than the road bikes though. The altitude gave me alot of trouble for sure. I felt like I was breathing through a straw. But it is so beautiful there. We rode the scooters up to Ten Thousand Waves and got massages which was very cool. We attempted to get in the healing water tubs, but all the naked men sorta scared me away. I think they scared Charles away more though. We did some sightseeing stuff, too. We rode our bikes up Bishop's Lodge road and came across the very best road to ride on. It was really windy with some little rollers and completely tree covered for almost 10 miles. There was a sign on the side of the road that said, "CAUTION: BICYCLES ON ROADWAY". So, I knew we were on the right road. We ran into a local cyclist who basically rode all the way back to Santa Fe with us. It is a good thing because we probably would have been extremely lost and been out in the Santa Fe country with the rattlesnakes and tumbleweeds for quite awhile. We ate lots of really good food. Maybe the best mexican food I have had in awhile. The green chili sauce was the ticket. We saw some good bands. I think my favorite was a dixieland jazz band. It was jazz, but with a banjo! All the members were at least 50, and they were rockin'! The worst part of the trip was the all night drive and sleeping in the truck. Not so much fun! But well worth it. On the way back, we stopped in the big metropolis of Clinton, OK to watch the local fireworks show. I was impressed, for sure. It was quite good. But now, I'm back to work and busy as heck. I also have this nagging cough that refuses to go away and my head feels like it is spinning. I was hoping for a good hard ride tonight, but the couch and some Nyquil may due me more good. I'll post pictures of Santa Fe shortly.
