My rear derailleur cable snapped early on, and that combined with a hacking cough made me (Nancy) take it all as a sign and pull off the road for the day. Ed made it to 80 miles and to the top of the major climb before hail and thunderstorms forced him to pull off. A few fellow guests were able to avoid the patrolling guides and got through the hail, wind, and lightening flashes all the way through to Taos. A cold and miserable day-- luckily, an official rest day awaits in Taos!
140 miles, 11,000 feet of climbing.
