Well awesome! Just rode for about 4 hours and it was super nice! Did only about 45 miles...I could've gone much further but timed it perfectly. I ran out of light completely just as I got back. I did a climb from about 5k feet to about 7.5k feet. Then back down to about 6k, back up to 7 and down again. I won't have to do it again, tomorrow, but maybe I will. It was a blast! Especially the descent. I still think my fit is a bit off, but I'm not going to mess with that I don't think. Though if anyone wants to buy me a Specialized S-Works....I'm sure that'd fix all my fit issues. A 58 should fit nicely. Though I'd settle for a new rear wheel. Oh I met this girl at the top. Her name was Gretta. She'd biked here from Silver City on a crappy old Schwinn, which apparently she'd built up a few days previous. Out of frustration she'd ripped off the derailleur, set it to a modest gear, and made the trek single speed! Awesome, simply awesome. Oh and in sandals with no toe clips. (Which you couldn't really do with sandals anyways. It'd hurt pretty bad after a while.) Apparently she and her boyfriend are going sailing tomorrow, but he's riding his motorcycle down. She wanted a way to get here tonight so she could camp, but wanted to be able to ride back with her boyfriend. So she built up a shitty Schwinn that she could just leave here. Pretty awesome. I wish I had more time to talk to her. She seemed super cool. Then again, Silver City didn't seem like such a bad town. I wouldn't mind living there for a few months. There was a ton of bike shops.

So we're staying in this little motel that has a cafe attached. The Cafe is called the Barbershop Cafe. The people who run the place also run the cafe. They must be partly retired since she said they were originally from I think, Huntington Beach, California and they keep odd ours. 11am-3pm (Thursday - Sunday) Anyways, THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! I had a green chili cheese burger with a slice of avocado on it and vegetable soup instead of fries or coleslaw (yuck!). The soup was incredible!!!! As was the burger. It was just spicy enough. I mean it was perfect! It was quite hot, but not too hot. Really, it was just right. It's not so surprising that the food was so good, though. The people were from California. More and more I'm realizing how much California truly is a food mecca. The climate is quite diverse throughout the state...and the people who live there just seem to know a ton about food. Some more than others, of course. Colleen in particular. Man, I want a Colleen cooked meal, so bad.

Alright, I think I'm done. I'm going to stretch and then take a shower, then probably do some more math. There's no desk in here, which is unfortunate, but i'll work it out. Hopefully I'll get through this review sometime soon so I can actually start learning some Calculus. Though my note taking is going to have to get better.
