After yesterday, our ride today was easier. While still 52.9 miles, the head winds and elevation gain were much less. A ten mile downhill on Interstate 8 with a 6% grade was very invigorating. So many windmills today. The other dominant feature was the desert views all the way to the horizon.

Across the street from the Calexico Mission School we’re staying at, is the Mexico / US wall.
