Scottie and I as well as These folks from CA: Bennie, Mile, and Ralphie totally enjoyed our alternative route up through NM. There's at least 30-40 tight turns posted 20MPH as well as bunches of those signed at 50MPH, which of course are good for 70-80MPH in Cobras. Then there's also many opportunities for some high speed cruising with great visibility and good roads. More fun and much less tiring, for me, than the trail. Extremely enjoyable 500 miles of smiles this weekend.
