If you really want to do that section I'd be happy to take you through it after the race. Most of the problems are in the afternoon and evening. You can usually get through if you leave early in the morning. Nevertheless, we should allow an extra day or two in case we get bogged down in the mud. When it is wet the baby powder soil turns to sticky baby poop and clogs everything. It is great for making adobe bricks though. Have you ever ridden an adobe brick? That is what your bike will look and feel like. Ride On! Have a great ride in New Mexico!!
P.S. Oh no! Not another tricky math problem before I can post? Does anyone have a calculator? I just write: "the squart root of pi" for everything, and so far, so good.
P.S.S. Just out of curiosity - did the little mouse get into the room while Dominik and I were outside working on his bike? He sure was persistent. Did I mention the hantavirus and the plague they carry? New Mexico - land of the flea, and home of the plague - it is true. Where are the doggone rattlesnakes when you need them?
P.S.S.S. I am sure David Blaine (a GDR racer with a very high fever) got checked out for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (ticks) while he was in the hospital in Colorado, but people from other places sometimes have their flu-like symptoms misdiagnosed when they return home. If you get real sick in the next 10 days or so, be sure to tell your doctor where you have been. If they miss the diagnosis and don't initiate the proper treatment plan you can die pretty quickly.
