Took a hiking tour in Carlsbad Cavern in NM. Trail descends 750 ft into the caverns below the mouth of the cave then it is a couple of miles of walking in the great beneath. Looked for but found no rings of power to help my riding. After the tour planned on riding the scenic ridge drive in the National Park but the road was both dirt and closed. Instead descended into White's City on the access road. Had a wonderful seven mile twisting climb to get back to the visitor's center. Climbed fairly well but the climb's max grade was a brief section of seven percent. Most of the road was two or three percent with occasional flattish one percent sections. Total elevation gain was only 900 feet. Nice day overall. Survived the short ride without issue but did get some pain\muscle spasm once dismounting the bike. Headed to Tucson tomorrow with a couple of big climbs looming.
