Of three major sections on the Northern New Mexico Great Divide Trail, we have only been able to do one. It has been raining here every afternoon. The mud is so thick we could not get our bikes through it if we had to. We have had to take alternate routes on pavement.

In one place when we did ride on some adobe mud, our tires picked up big globs of mud. The wheels refused to go around, the mud jammed between the brakes and the forks, creating one heck of an adobe mess.

We hope we can do the next off road section from Grants to Pie-town. We will see tomorrow.
