Here is a picture of my new “extra wide mountain bike” handle bars on my new bike. The road bike handle bars were  hard for me to balance the bike well, but these work great. Today we went 63 miles and it was almost totally flat. We averaged about 13 mph for the day. The only negative thing was we had a pretty strong head wind most of the day, but John rode in the front all day and Richard and I followed behind letting John break the wind. It doesn’t seem like it would make that much difference, but it really does. We rode along the Rio Grande river all day and was I disappointed. I could easily jump across it in most places. I suppose it is bigger after some rain, but today it hardly looked like the river I saw in a bunch of western movies. We are going to take the next two days off and rest up our sore muscles and various other body parts.
