Awesome Thanks for sharing this.

I'm hoping that between the three of us we can post up something in the next few days. I hear a rumor there's some video :)

The "Tres Amigos" trip. NMBDR Sections 7 and (part of 6)

For those that are following this NMBDR trip for next month, I'm also looking at doing the Southern section(s) over the Thanksgiving long weekend. (i.e. Friday - Sunday) I'm hoping the weather will be good enough as to not close some of the roads up near Cloudcroft. If anyone has any...

Awesome. let us know as soon as you can.

Come on!!! Let us know as soon as you can!

Sorry you can't make it. I'm looking at doing section 1 and maybe 2 on Thanksgiving weekend!

Guys, if you're planning on making this NMBDR trip on 10/18 - 10/20, shoot me a PM with your phone, email, location, rig info, and what type of communications you have available so I can coordinate who all is coming and your locations. I'll setup a meetup point and a communication plan and nail...

Hi all, a few of us are going to do the Northern two sections of the NMBDR the weekend of 10/18 - 10/20. If anyone is interested see this post: https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/new-mexico-overlanders.3499/post-377614

If there's rain, parts of it may be "impassible" especially section 6 South of Cuba, I"ll see if they can get it Paved before we go

I don't know the actual miles of dirt. I know some of it is paved, I could see that from the Google Earth view. I'm guessing 90% is dirt.

Exactly why I sold my brand new Africa Twin six months after getting it. I knew it was just a matter of time and I'm too old for this falling down shit :tongueout:

:tongueout:

Technically, this route is for ADV type "Dual-Sport" bikes. So this is a more difficult section and there is a bypass. The notes on the website says it has ledges. We'll find out for sure when we get there :)

I don't have a CB, but have a couple of hand held FSR's they do a pretty decent job within a mile or so. I also have a Garmin Inreach so I can text the wife and it has an SOS button with the SHTF.

Well @Wile_Coyote It's all your fault, the wife is going to want to talk to you!!! :tongueout: I just pulled the trigger on the FTM 400xdr.

Awesome Steve! I am in the process of getting a mobile Ham unit for my rig. I just sold my home base station last week(Icom 7300) after deciding I'll never use it here. I'm looking at the Yaesu FMT400XDR right now. I'll pull the trigger in the next week or so and get it installed for the trip.

Hi Steve, I'm planning the trip, it's very informal. It started out as an event on the Overland New Mexico Facebook group. There's only a few folks going. I'm trying to keep it fairly simple. I personally, can't do the whole route in one shot, there's no way I could take that much vacation...

I plugged the GPS tracks for the route into Google Earth and check out the views. This is from the "Expert" route between El Rito and Abiquiu The green route is the the road.

I've ridden on my bike from Grants up past Cuba. If you have an off-road style trailer it would be fine, I"m not sure about a travel trailer. I got a report from someone that did the Antonito to Abiquiu he said it was very sandy and had some technical sections.
