My goal was to spend time getting to know New Mexico but I had to get there first. On this trip I chose to ease up on my pace, experiment with new blogging tools, and carry a bicycle with me. This provided me with the opportunity to learn, the luxury of taking bike rides, and the time to keep pace with my blogging. A mixed bag but a decidedly pleasant change.

The posts which together capture this ride include:

1. -West with a Focus on New Mexico
   

2. -Roanoke and Blacksburg
   

3. -Riding the Rivers
   

4. -Picture Taking while bike Riding
   

5. -Touring Cherokee Country
   

6. -Back onto the Mother Road
   

7. -Showcase of Expression
   

8. -Route 66 in the Open West
   

I head west often.

I head south each winter.

Mixing it up easily keeps it interesting.
