Las Cruces, NM
(I rode 100 miles in a car yesterday to get here.)
8.5 miles aroun town
New kickstand and brakes checked out, $21.46
New battery for odometer and headlight that attaches to my helmet, $16.66
Fresh veggies, coconut milk and lentils to make soup in a kitchen and eat leftovers the next day, $11.52
Mango Dango frozen custard sundae with salted pecans and a waffle cone bowl, $5.79
Four-inch piece of velcro to modify the headlight so it actually attaches to my helmet, and for the lady at the quilt shop to sew it up on the fanciest sewing machine I have ever seen, $.94
Riding around with no gear on the bike for the whole day, priceless!
Apparently this is the kickstand the police use on their bikes. My new favorite bike shop, Outdoor Adventures, says it is lightweight and tough!
Here is the new light before modification, in the wrong place on the helmet. No more holding the headlamp in my mouth!
Strangely, the waffle cone bowl wasn’t that good. Guess I’ll go back tomorrow to try something even better!

Because the picture of it looks so good, I will pretend you didn’t say that.
