The weather was looking threatening so I was thinking about staying in Adrian, the halfway mark of Route 66 but the guy who ran the only motel in town passed away last month. The next town with accommodation was Tucumcari in New Mexico; another 70 miles away...

I'm in New Mexico! Had to work hard for it though; 126 miles, 8 hours cycling. Crossed the State line and entered a different time zone; Mountain Time, -7 GMT. I'm now seven hours behind the UK. I'm also now in the desert.

oh, I adore New Mexico--it's absolutely beautiful there! I hope the weather is cool enough for you there--we're having a killer heat-wave here in CA (99* at the beach!)
Anyways--make sure you enjoy the fantastic Mexican food available and you ABSOLUTELY must try some Sopapillas--they are tasty, puffy hot fried bread things that you fill with butter and honey! Oh--pure heaven and you will only see them in the Southwest!
