I just don't know what the hell they could've touched to affect those lights... -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Um..........85 to 165. Go South after Placitas towards Tijeras. Hit some 8500 feet in elevation, roads look decent enough. Hell, thats in your backyard. SHould really go to Hwy 4. Thats only about two hours away? If I was out there, thats all I would do is drive the mountains. Lucky!
Here is Placitas/Tijeras.....great place to start (looks like it)

Jon was commenting on how the distance of the route that Josh posted was like driving around the whole island (Hawaii) so I connected that with Puerto Rico since that's where I'm from and that island is pretty damn tiny as well. Lol

So I took the drive that Josh suggested and may I say, it was AWESOME. Total elevation change was about 4,500 feet. The climb up was nice and scenic, but the ride down was very, VERY fun. The GR2/TRD setup I have performs beautifully. I had a buddy riding with me to take pictures. Here's a few...
Here's me on a bench with a snow ottoman.  A beautiful S-curve.  A hard right turn.  I was going about 65 at this specific moment.  In the zone... lol
