Anyone in the Farmington New Mexico area? I am here for about 2 1/2 months working and was able to ride down. I pointed the bike down a paved county road today and had a great ride, but did not see another person for about 45 miles and loved it, but got a bit nervous not knowing the area and it was a bit warm, high 90's. Would love a riding partner to show me the local roads. Dennis, in New Mexico, from Montana. If so, give me a call..... 406-261-7015, or email: barrowfamily@bresnan.net

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo. WHAT ?? You expected something educational from me?? -
On Saturday, July 26th, my wife and I will be heading back home to the Salt Lake City, Utah area from Rogers & Bentonville, Arkansas - STAR Days. We need to complete this ride in 4-5 days. The most direct route (as drawn by MapQuest), shows the mileage to be about 1,300 miles, but we're not looking for the fastest route, we are searching for the best ride - but, one which we can complete within 4-5 days. So far, we figured that we would ride through these places in the following order: 1. Rogers, Arkansas 2. Amarillo, Texas 3. Santa Fe, New Mexico 4. Farmington, New Mexico * This is where we're we need some help. Once we leave Santa Fe, New Mexico, our next destination is Farminton, New Mexico. From the first leg of our ride from Santa Fe, it looks like we have two (almost equal?) route choices - See the attached maps - Route 1 & Route 2. We have never been to New Mexico before and we would like to try and plan the "best" choice of route, but we can't decide if it's a better choice to take: The "low road" (Route 1 = down I-25, North-West to 550 to Farmington. Or ..., The "high road" (Route 2 = up I-285, to 96, to 550 to Farmington. Distance wise, both choices look about the same. Time-wise, I have no idea. Is anyone out there familiar with this area or either of these routes? We are also open to any other suggestions we can get about travel in these parts such as "can't miss" or "don't bother" suggestions. There's nothing like the voice of experience. Thanks guys! Be Safe! Pete.
