Day two started out overcast and got colder and wetter as we climbed through the beautiful Mimbres Valley and into the Gila Wilderness. Lunch with hot chocolate was a welcome stop for the soggy cyclists. 10 more rainy miles to Camp Thunderbird, but not too cold as we were climbing steadily. After more hot chocolate and hot showers, the sky cleared and many of the true outdoors folks pitched tents for the night, opting out of the dormitory accommodations – that did have some interesting advantages. Then it was happy hour again and dinner in the lodge.
