Freedom of the Road - RIDE NEW MEXICO

For the past several months Nancy and I have been scrapping, plastering, painting, and creating.  What have we been creating?  RIDE NEW MEXICO, located in the historic village of Madrid.  In New Mexico we boast it’s the last frontier.  It’s where you can ride for miles on open roads and sometimes not see another vehicle.  It’s where the sun shines 320 days a year.  It’s high desert; it’s where the road meets the sky; it’s 14,000-foot mountains, it’s cowboys, artists, pueblos and green chile.  It's where you can take a moto-photo motorcycle tour or climb in a classic sidecar and capture the freedom of the open road.

Ride New Mexico Headquarters is a whole lot more than a starting point for moto-photo and sidecar tours, it features an extensive collection of  classic black and white moto-photo prints from my HOG® Magazine blue highway series.  Specialty maps, books, caps, t-shirts and motorcycle spirit bells are also available.  Two wheels or four, Nancy and I welcome you to stop by, say hello.

At Ride New Mexico we support:

FREEDOM OF THE ROAD FOR:
ALL CULTURES
ALL RELIGIONS
ALL PEOPLE
ALL THE TIME

Chicks with Chainsaws

 

Imagine a Christmas parade.  What comes to mind?  Visions of sugar plums?  Frosty? Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer? Santa's helpers? The Grinch?  Well, guess again.  If you were in Madrid, NM last Saturday night for the annual Christmas parade through town you would have been greeted by...Chicks with Chainsaws. The group performs mostly at the Engine House Theater in Madrid. The performances are a combination of dance, acrobatics, aerial performance and just plain havin' fun.

There is a "pool" at the Mine Shaft Tavern, of course no betting allowed, on just how long the parade will last.  Times flying around generally are seven to eight minutes.  You do have to get it down to seconds, that tightens up the odds a bit.   If you missed the big event this year be sure to put it on your calendar for next year on the first Saturday of December  around 4 pm.

People in Madrid live outside the box. There is love, acceptance and a support system. The common thread binding the village together is... "Just be who you are”.  Nancy and I are very excited to be part of the village.  Opened our new shop, RIDE NEW MEXICO, two weeks ago just south of the Mine Shaft.  

How cool is that...if we weren't here we would have missed the Chicks with Chainsaws.  Better put that on your Christmas list for next year!
