NMBDR New Mexico Backcountry Discovery Route - Section 1

http://ridebdr.com/NMBDR Section 1 of the New Mexico Backcountry Discovery Route - Dell City, TX to Ruidoso, NM The southern starting point of Section 1 of the NMBDR riding kicks off in Dell City, TX, a small farming community just across the border. The landscape here may be nothing to write home about, but hang in there, the Land of Enchantment awaits! Make sure to top off your fuel tank before leaving town, it will be a long time before you hit the next service station. Head north out of Dell City and you’ll end up at the foothills of the Guadalupe Rim, which is flanked by the Guadalupe Mountains to the Northeast. Savor the warm weather while you can - before you know it you’ll be ascending 5,000 feet onto the rim itself by way of a short segment of incredible tarmac. Absorb the majestic scenery at the top of the Crow Flats Valley you just rode through, as well as the Brokeoff Mountains to the west. Fuel up again in Weed and point your cycle west through the Sacramento Mountains. Lovely primitive campsites dot the way throughout the entire route. Heads up: these roads may be impassable when they’re wet. Soon you’ll spy White Sands National Monument in the distance while traveling on West Side Rd. The high country Town of Cloudcroft happens to be one of the most iconic towns in all of New Mexico - we recommend spending a few hours here to fully soak in the charm. Enjoy award-winning apple pie at the legendary Apple Barn prior to embarking on Section 2 of the NMBDR. For BDR maps, DVDs, stickers and more visit https://touratech-usa.com/Adventure-M...
