Thanks folks I do appreciate all of the comments and I do hope it explains just some of the places and history of the State.

Great report... Good content along with photos.

Thanks TwilightZone, glad you liked it.

Eddie,
Nearly two months I've been based in T or C.
Riding out of this little sleepy village I have found myself in many of your same photoed settings. You do indeed do the state of New Mexico justice. Please keep up the good RR.

In a couple of days I'm taking my r12gs on FR150 & then east on 152.
I've found reversing my travels makes taking the same roads more interesting & I see what I missed coming from the other direction.

Keep writing & riding.

Thanks much for sharing.

2eddies · 06-13-2011, 04:04 PM

Thanks Wolfgang, dirt FR 150 and then pavement 152 thru the Black Range is a great loop to do out of T or C. Have a good time!

Good report and I really appreciate the detail on the roads taken. I'm going to try to put these into a .gpx file and follow along next fall.

Thanks again.

Thanks for taking the time to post this. Excellent and enjoyable ride report.

2eddies · 06-14-2011, 12:34 PM

Thanks, Oktulsa, if you do make the .gpx file, I hope you will make a copy available to other ADV riders who might be interested in it.

Thanks also to Dick...for your kind comments

Nice work Ed!

2eddies · 06-17-2011, 09:44 AM

Hey HighRiver! Thanks...I hope the Valley of the Sun isn't too hot yet and that you are getting out in the mountains and doing the track day events.

rogernm · 11-22-2011, 07:36 PM

As usual I'm late to the game, but that is a Great RR!

Many familiar places, some places I've gone right by without seeing (so much my loss).

I must get back there and fill in the blanks.

Thanks for letting me go along for the ride!

2eddies · 11-23-2011, 07:06 AM

Hey, you can't possibly be late for this ride report, the mountains will wait for you! Besides the great folks running this website save all of the good stuff so you can always find it.

The first picture of the snake in the road. Dam that was a big snake.
Great report and pictures.

2eddies · 11-23-2011, 03:27 PM

Damn big snake? Nah, he was only about 7 feet long, ...about average for an adult gopher snake.

He was working on his tan in the middle of the road when I came along. Luckily I was slowing for a nearby turn, so we both survivied the encounter.

fatman21 · 11-24-2011, 07:03 AM

Fantastic scenery and great style of RR.

Are you able to ride year-round in NM?
