Land of Enchantment

I'm on Mountain time! Ever so slowly, we creep west towards California, and now I am in New Mexico, the land of enchantment, with only three states left to go. Yesterday we took a detour to Palo Duro on our way outside Amarillo, the second largest canyon in the US, which was gorgeous (proof above). I loved it, and it whetted my appetite for the Grand Canyon, coming up soon. I rode sweep today into Portales, and had relatively few incidents. We did experience one epic fight with a tire that took the wiles of five of us to wrestly back on to Erin's wheel. Tomorrow we head to Roswell, where, in addition to scoping out the alien invasion, I plan to hit up the world's largest mozzarella cheese factory.





Thanks to much leg work on behalf of a couple girls in my crew, Bike and Build has been getting a lot of publicity. Here are some of the sites and stories :
