Fred, you lucky guy. The weather is getting just right for your bike trips and here you go off to harass Josh. As long as you are going to be at the campus why not drop BB off. Maybe she could learn something.
Going into the mountains of New Mexico sounds like a fun ride. If you get far enough be sure to stop by the area where they have the old cliff dwellings. But that is not really a mountainous area. Enjoy the trip.
