3d Annual TORCH Adventure Ride - New Mexico

[TORCHRIDER]

TORCH is pleased to announce the 3nd Annual TORCH Adventure ride to
Cloudcroft and Red Sands, NM from July 25 through July 31. Cloudcroft
is located at an elevation of 9000 ft. in the Lincoln National Forest
and is one of the most beautiful places to ride in the country. Red
Sands is located 20 miles South of Alamogordo, NM at an elevation of
4500 ft. and is high desert riding at its finest. This is an
opportunity to ride both mountain and desert terrain in a single trip.
The best of both worlds!

This trip is open to riders of all ages and skill levels as there are
trails appropriate for novice and expert alike.
It’s all about having fun, fellowship and sightseeing. Nobody is left
behind. We ride as a group, keep an eye on each other and help each
other out. We’ll ride 4 days in the mountains and 1 day in the desert
and hope to cover at least 300 miles. Some will ride more and some
will ride less.

VERY IMPORTANT:
This time of year accomodations fill up fast, so if you are planning
on attending please make your reservations ASAP. A list of
