Hey, thanks for all the info.
Bicycle trip math.
Got a decision to make. Hang a left into NM to the Ruidoso area and then north through Yellowstone to Great Falls MT - 1,800 miles from here. Desert in NM, big climbs and crowds in CO.
Straight north through Bents Fort, Fort Laramie, Yellowstone, Geat Falls - 1,500 miles. Crossing the High Plains would not bore me.
Be good if I could be done by August 10th, 43 days from now.
43 days x 50 miles/day average = 2,150 potential miles able to cover. But 2,150 miles not guaranteed.
Decisions, decisions.
Either way I’m on Hwy 87 170 miles to Lamesa.
Do you know what 87 looks like?
