The Road To Taos

Ever since reading "Riding with Rilke" by Ted Bishop I have been fascinated with with the idea of visiting Taos, NM. I (we) finally made it, sort of. We wanted to go ride the enchanted loop which is just north of Taos as well.

Due to financial constraints we decided to make it a day ride which proved a challenge. I do not have to tell those reading this that when you ride by motorcycle their is always something. So that means we got a late start.

The first stop along the way is Madrid, NM. A charming little tourist town which recently gained some notoriety as the location for the filming of "Mad Hogs."
