Day 63 Pueblo Pintado NM to Grants NM

I took full benefit of the Launderette’s offer to Dividers of free coffee & use of bathroom & WiFi before setting off.

Today was a very hard ride. 72 miles against a strong headwind on undulating hills. I had to work for every mile – whether up or down.

My ride through Navajo country is high desert – typical views along the way.

Land use being farming, open cast coal mining & gas extraction. The remainder is wilderness of which there is a lot

Finally, I reached Grants at dusk. Settled myself into the Sands Motel (no Frank Sinatra) & across the road for a beer.
