[Ducati] Albequerque?

Fri Apr 6 08:55:58 EDT 2007

Although I haven't lived there since I was a baby, I did go back quite
often.... between Albuquerque -> Santa Fe -> Taos there are some great
roads... esp. if you keep heading north and into the Mountains.

Gotta tell ya though, a Hypermotard or Multistrada would be king there...
some of the best stuff is dirt... although paved is definitely an option.

Best part is there IS trackdays there and they are CHEAP... $60 or so last I
heard.

http://www.smri-racing.org/ is a road racing org. based in Santa Fe that is
AMA sanctioned and does track days... they are pretty much the game for
NM...

Probably an even better part, you can make the trip to Miller Motorsports
Park in Utah if you're really craving a world class track... it's only an 11
hour drive ;-)

Hope this helps... gorgeous country, although Albuquerque has *sprawled* and
well, just not the same as it used to be, Santa Fe is changing too.... but
them be the times I s'pose.

If you need a house built, let me know... I know someone out there who
builds very nice houses and is def. trustworthy....

Regards,

Scottie.D
