Notes: The day started fairly normal. After a 3 block ride to NM #9 Hyw we spent the next 60 miles on #9 before entering "metro" El Paso. There were a lot of goat head flats in the group today (including Lynn). I was spared these flats because I am running tubeless tires (my opinion). It was nice having Lynn ride with me most of the day. She did extremely well (until her flat with ~4 miles to go.
