to Salome or Harcovar 9 - Stan's Excellent Cross Country Ride 2025 - CycleBlaze

April 9, 2025

to Salome or Harcovar 9

  Yes.  another morning that is not cold. This time in the upper 50's.  We are on an earlier schedule with breakfast at 6:30.  We were on the road by 7:30.  My tire seems to be doing ok, holding air but possibly leaking a bit.

It was a little uphill gently at first , then slightly downhill for a good while.  The road is not great but better than many.  It was a fine ride, a little boring.  We are at a KOA but not as nice as some other KOA's. Nicer than many of the RV Parks we have used.

Bird Talk: I submitted the Anna's Hummingbird sighting from yesterday. I misunderstood so not a Life Bird  But today a lifer!! Gilded Flicker.  I think theis split off some other species since I was last in this area.  Back near Las Cruces, I thought I would not get any new birds, but have gotten two with this and Mexican Duck.

It did get hot this afternoon and I think we will see more of this.

Preview of tomorrow: we enter California, we ride on I-10. 

Today's ride: 57 miles (92 km)
Total: 2,881 miles (4,637 km)
