‘The Radioactive Ride’ LRLR June Adventure
This year’s Long Reach Long Riders ride, dubbed The Radioactive Ride, is all about New Mexico (plus a little Arizona, Utah, and Texas).
Loren Schreiber, Ride Marshal, said, “Much of the ride is in a high desert environment. Average high temperatures for June range from the mid-60s to the mid-90s depending on where you are in New Mexico. Elevation will range from over 8,000 feet near Angel Fire to 2,800 feet around Carlsbad.”
The 2016 Long Reach Long Rider ride begins June 4 in Las Cruces, NM, and finishes back in Las Cruces on June 12. Registration is now open. For more information on the route, joining the ride, or making a donation, visit lrlr.org.
