Day 24 (10/12)

A cold front moved in overnight and temperatures dropped to the high 40s. The wind direction also did an about-face coming out of the NE gusting at 19 MPH.  Although it was cold, the tailwind was strong and pushed us all day.  We got to the New Mexico state line at mid-morning.  We had to ride on the I-40 freeway again, this time for 30 miles. No problems whatsoever.  The NM landscape is much more interesting than the Texas panhandle. Road conditions are improved as well.
We reached Tucumcari after riding 78 miles for the day.  There are many vintage motels on their Route 66 strip.
