| The park has a hot tub and a swimming pool and clean rest rooms adjacent to the tent area. Water and electricity will be available, but will need to be shared. Helen has arranged an $8 plus tax per night per tent rate. Reservations for the tent space will not be required. For RVs contact Helen directly at the park at (800) 326-2024. She's there Monday thru Friday 8-4 MDT. If you call at any other time the rate you get at the time you call is the rate you will pay. There is a convenience store at the entrance to the park. They do not sell beer or wine. We will point out where to buy to those who are interested. We can make 1 tent and our Kwik Camp camper available. If you're interested, contact us directly. In the event of overwhelming demand for these, the first paid registration gets the camper and the second gets the tent. We will notify you on the LSV and EVA forums. Hope to see you there. Stan and Helen Jankowski |

| Friday ride | Ride 20 miles along Rte. 66 to Moriarity for breakfast at Jenk's Cafe. Ride back roads 61 miles to El Dorado and a pit stop. Continue on 20 miles (17 on I-25) to Pecos National Monument. Tour the ruins for 1 to 1 1/2 hours (Cost $3 per person) or just hang around the visitors center. Short ride to Pecos for lunch at Frankie's Casa Nova. Ride on 50 miles (22 on I-25) to Madrid. Walk about a bit. Refreshments and shopping if you want. This is the town where a lot of the movie "Wild Hogs" was filmed. I'm working on a photo op at Maggie's Cafe. They don't really sell food there, it's just a movie set. Continue on back to HVRV Park. Total ride mileage approx 165 miles. | |||||
| Saturday ride | Short ride to Cedar Point Grille for breakfast. The morning ride is TBA. It will be at least in part along NM 337, south of I-40. Lunch will be at the Ponderosa Bar and Restaurant, a local mountain biker favorite spot (Update on route later). After lunch up to Sandia Crest, elev 11,000'. This ride is extremely beautiful, but requires all yuor attention to the road. From there we return to HVRV Park. | |||||
