2007 New Mexico Scott and Bill 1200+ Miles of Riding in 5 days |
|
Day ZERO - To New Mexico |
I don't remember the routes exactly - basically for the next 5 days we
did a set of "clover leaf" routes. Each route would start and end
Espanola and put us in 200+ miles of twisty mountain roads.
Here's a picture of Scott having a rotten time in front of some amazing scenery. You'd think by the look on my face I was plotting the destruction of mankind - actually I was having the time of my life, I'm just embarrassed by how my smile looks in pictures. Red River New Mexico - that is a ski lift behind Bill. I'm pretty sure just riding the lift would give me a heart attack. Dinner at El Paragua, Dolores made the reservations for us - GREAT food and fantastic people. These two were a couple of the MANY chopper riding locals and were friendly enough to let me get a picture. I'm glad Dolores made the reservations, because when the gringos walked in it was like something out of a movie: The music stopped, everyone turned around. "Hi Fellas" Scott said in his best 'white and nerdy' voice. |
