Crikey, 40c heat, amazing mountains, a stay at deserted ‘Butlins’ & riding into centre of Monterrey (only 3.5 million people so not 2 hard!)

Hola …. MEXICO! Wow, bit of a culture shock, gulp! Got stopped by police … but they just wanted a chat. Hello agressive dogs! Tranquilo

Oooooh TEXAS! Amazing hospitality, hot weather, a puncture (3rd one) & the Rockies seem a while away now. Wow people are friendly here

After big days 2 push out of Rockies, had gentle reminder that they’re ’still there’ … snow on tent last night, 50 miles S of Santa Fe, NM

Insane 60+ mph gusting headwind thro ‘South Park’ (yup) in CO Rockies, 30 miles at 9,000+ ft, camped @ 10,000 ft (bit chilly), slept 13 hrs!

Had 1st snow since early June then rode thro snow storm to lose height; game of ‘chicken’ with seasons may be swinging toward ma nature…

Phenomenal day’s riding: gravel roads, 4000+ ft climb, 10,800 ft pass (Snoww Mtn, WY), 10 mile descent in 15 mins! Laughed lots

Possible (white) wolf siting on road in distance nr Wyoming cattle ranch…may have been large feral poodle…probably Whitefang tho…

Popped to Jackson Hole – wow, this place is ‘well heeled’

Can a man marry his pillow? I’m loving my new one. Oh, made it to Yellowstone too
