After catching 2 Supercross (indoor) events in the past year I thought it would be awesome to catch an outdoor event (Motocross) The closest outdoor event to home is Thunder Valley located just outside of Denver Colorado. To keep the miles off the truck and wear and tear the cost effective decision was to pick up a trusty Rav-4 from Hertz. Not the most exciting car on the road, but worthy of a simple road trip.
Short day of work and about a 6 hr drive and we were there. To get the most out of the experience we opted for the camping option. Not necessarily the cheapest option due to the $125...

After a 4" dusting of snow the Puerco was ready for a great ride. I hate the word epic, but this would qualify as one of those epic rides that I will be talking about for at least a year.

About 120mi south of Albuquerque you will find Magdalena. A small town with 2 motels and a Wells Fargo. If you daze off for about 45 seconds you will miss it. We had the opportunity ride some BMW G450x's provided by BMW of North America for the weekend. A total of 12 bikes were provided to take on Monticello Box Canyon.

Buckman is a great little riding spot just out of Santa Fe. Unfortunately I didn't track our route w/gps so I don't have a map to share. Local riders have cut about 40mi of single track and you can make a complete loop if you hit the power line road.
If you continue down the road past the good moto trails you can find Diablo Canyon

One of our favorite spots that we refer to as Mars. This spot is located just on the outskirts of Albuquerque and the area is often referred to as "End of Southern" or The Puerco. Probably one of the better riding spots for the winter time because the mountains are under a blanket of snow.
I decided to attempt a photo sequence of 6 photos. Regrettably due to our remote locations it is very difficult to carry a lot of camera gear including a tripod. Making the best of what we had available I used my bike as a brace.
