Day 2 (a little prep and a quick ride)

Well, today was spent putting the bike back together (in terms of loading it with gear and all). Once I was done with that, I took a quick ride up to Sandia Peak, NM (thought it was WISE to get in a local ride ALL loaded up before I leave tomorrow morning).

Here are just a few pics and videos.

  3. anywhere in and around the city is perfect...mj and i stayed at a hotel that was pretty central, close to the large cathedral and artist's colony...the food was superb and the sunsets were unsurpassed...unfortunately, the only marine life you will encounter will be in the form of shrimp cocktail or ceviche...enjoy!
