To my surprise last night, an exit earlier than I had expected, I was able to get off the exit and onto a frontage road that would take me into Deming.
So, yesterday was my last official pedal on Intersate 10 and I was so glad of this. Even though there was a fairly large shoulder for cycling, I was glad to be done with dodging pieces of debris on the roadside and hearing and feeling huge trucks zooming by me!
Very early that morning, I had to deal with another flat and also headwinds heading east into Deming.
I did go to the library once I got into town to work on my website and then I stocked up on some food and more tubes and headed Northeast towards Hatch.
I rode a little over 50 miles on this day. It was so nice to be on a secondary road for the afternoon.
I camped between Nutt and Hatch this night. I was back out in the middle of the desert; listening to the cows in a distance, along with the coyotes.
Great to hear you were able to get off route 10!I wondered how many flat tires you have changed along the way. Another great photo of the desert.
