Sunday Feb 6th
Las Cruces to El Paso (Roadrunner RV)
The day started with an all star breakfast with Rubin Trujillo's family. He whipped up pancakes, scrambled eggs, toast, bacon, home fries and to top it off Lupe's home made salsa. The salsa was so much better than any I've ever had from a store. She was kind enough to share her recipe and it seems something I'd even be capable of making.
Everyone in the family was so kind and they all have a great sense of humor. After a restful night, refueling and well wishes the spirits were high. We departed Rubin's home under bright skies and warm temperatures (a welcome return to the weather I took for granted the 1st 3 weeks of the trip). Rubin and Gabe gave us great directions for the scenic route that would relink us to the Adventure Cycling Route. It took us down a lightly traveled road through dense Pecan Groves. We cruised down valley roads with a strong wind mercifully at our backs had intermittent views of the growing rocky Franklin Mountains that tower over El Paso. This was a payback ride and we enjoyed traveling 18-23mph for 2 hours without much effort.
We had stop in El Paso for an interview with the local Fox Station. The traffic was heavy but curteous until 4pm. Unfortunately we we're missing the 1st half of Superbowl Sunday but the benefit was vanishing traffic. We cleaned up quickly in time to catch the game at end of the 3rd quarter at an enjoyably crowded sports bar.
