Lisa's view on the mud problem (getting stuck, pushing your bike, cleaning your bike, pushing some more) is: don't bother. Find a nice little cafe somewhere, cup of tea, piece of malt loaf, read a book, and soon enough it will be time for dinner. Mmm, yummy pizza, perhaps a piece of cheesecake and then go to bed nice and early. Wake up for a lovely cup of tea, and then some more malt loaf a bit later.
Stuff the mud and biking nonsense.
Tim, on the other hand, views your noble endeavour with the utmost admiration and approval. I'd almost like to be there myself. It's just the mud and cycling bit that puts me off.
We're loving keeping track of your travels, and are rooting for you no end. Glad you've found some other bikers to ride with the past couple of days - we were worried you were getting lonely!
Hope the mud dries and your GPS finds the nice downhill Tarmac road all the way into New Mexico.
Love from Tim & Lisa
