What better way to start the riding season than to attend the 6th Annual Red River Roundup. Well, maybe it's the 7th. Who's countin'? Anyway, this years' Roundup is Thursday May 14 through Sunday May 17th. If you haven't been to this area, there are many great roads and many great restaurants in the area. Not to mention some of our own cookin'. If you haven't had one of Rango's original onion burgers, now's the time to experience it. Okay, so we Texans brag a bit, but I'm tellin' ya right now you're gonna want seconds! We'll also feature Ken Goode's BBQ Brisket with all the trimmin's on Saturday night. We'll make sure you don't go away hungry. Basically, we're talkin' about a four day Ride to Eat. This isn't a rally. There's no registration fee. Come and meet some new friends as well as gather with folks you've known for quite a while.

The host hotel for the event will be the same as in past years,The Riverside, located within walking distance of most everything in Red River. Most all of the rooms feature a living room and kitchen equipped with stoves, refrigerators, etc. The parking lot is paved and level, with parking just outside your room. Many rooms have a porch and chairs as well. They accept all major credit cards.

The website for the Riverside is at www.redriver-nm.com. Their toll-free number for reservations is 1-800-432-9999. Tell them you want to make reservations for the Red River Roundup. For those of you unfamiliar with Red River, it's a small town located in northwestern NM in the Sangre de Cristo mountains, the southernmost range of the Rocky mountains.

Red River is located on the Enchanted Circle, which traverses Carson National Forest and runs through Eagle Nest, and Taos, NM. The scenery is incredible. The roads are paved and in good shape, with many good twisties, especially on the south side of the Enchanted Circle. There are many other good roads in the area that make for enjoyable day trips. People have ridden to Wolf Creek Pass and other Southern Colorado locations during this RTE.

Taos, located about 30 miles from Red River, offers a variety of both excellent dining and shopping experiences. Other attractions in the area include several wineries and the Rio Grande Gorge.
