Well, did he hit 200 mph?
Speaking of that part of the state, I once read a blog by some (apparently clueless) bicycle tourers. They wanted to go somewhere for a winter ride where it’s warm. “Hey, New Mexico is the desert, let’s go there!”
They wound up in and around Magdalena and were wondering why they were freezing their @$$es off in December or January.
Yes he hit 200.
When I first moved here in 1992 I still rode bikes. Winters were cold, but if dry and the sun out, not too bad. My wife and I competed in a cross country ski race atop Sandia Crest (10K+ feet) in bike shorts and tank tops because of the sun. The UNM ski team (Norwegian on scholarships kicked our butts a thousand ways from Sunday)
We joke that he La Luz Trail is where Texans go to die of hypothermia, even in summer.
