Quality Time With Granny; Over the Divide

It was a bit of a sufferfest today. The day started out innocently enough. We knew we would be crossing the Continental Divide today, but with all the climbing we already have on our legs we were led to believe it wouldn't be a huge day. What we didn't count on, though, were the stiff crosswinds and headwinds pretty much all the way up. As a result of the winds and the climbing I was in my granny gears for what seemed like most of the day - thus my "quality time with granny". We started in Lordsburg NM and ended 49 miles and 4400 feet of climbing later in friendly Silver City NM. Not much else to report - no place to stop for ice cream or pie! Weather was good. A little bit cooler than some previous days, but it was perfect for climbing. Rest day tomorrow - woohoo!
