Digging Deep Cycling The Great Plains On My Lynskey GR300 - Bicycle Touring North America - S4 E20

The last of three installments of Route 66 from eastern Oklahoma, thru the panhandle of Texas, and now northeastern New Mexico. The "West" is now in full effect with outstanding open scapes and golden grasses as far as one can see. The route is a mix of old Route 66 with its unique towns, Interstate 40, and its quiet frontage roads. I say good by to this iconic stretch of road and head north towards New Mexico's Sanger de Cristo Mountain Range.
