Day 43: back to reality

I was greeted this morning with a flat tire. I hadn't noticed until I started packing my bike. A little delay, fix it and continue. The morning was cool but not cold. The sun was out as I left. This new road was nice; no traffic, rolling hills. But today the wind was back in my face. It wasn't too bad until after lunch. I had a great Navaho taco at the Willard cafe and while I did the wind picked up speed. It was only 10 miles to Mountianair, my destination, but it took me over an hour with the wind. When I finally arrived I met the town clerk who was expecting me. Long story, but my mom had called and talked to her. She pointed out the spots in town then opened the community center for me to sleep in. No kitchen, but it's not bad.
