September 18, 2011 (Ruidoso, New Mexico)
Photos from day 8, Socorro New Mexico to Ruidoso New Mexico. 106 miles with 6700 feet of climbing. Changed time zones on this day. First part of the ride had nice scenery and was not too difficult. Stopped in Carizozo for lunch. After lunch, lots of rollers and tough climbs into Ruidoso.
