And so far our first impressions are
1) We're glad we're not Pro/1 Men, after going DOWN some of the pitches that only the Pro/1 Men do (out to the Gila Cliff Dwellings, on "The Gila Monster" stage). The climbing out there (here!) is tough. But some of those downhill pitches might very well be terrifying to race.
2) It is stunningly beautiful (esp when out of town, when not by the open pit copper mines, etc)
3) They like to drink and drive in NM, like they do in WI. Only instead of there being a bar in every little town where you go drink, then drive home, here they drink WHILE they drive. And then they throw the empties out the truck window. The same. But different.
4) There is an ammo shortage at the local stores
5) The locals are hoarding ammo; because they need it to shoot up all the road signs and dioramas at the scenic overlooks
6) The team car must have had a mechanical, because they never caught up to us, even on the climbs.
Well, that's it for now.
Carry on!
