Winter break, Alamogordo, NM

Back to Alamogordo, NM for a few days. This time to take in the ceremony honoring our son to Major in the USAF.

Mountain biking on the agenda, of course. White Sands National Monument.
Only did a little bit of riding, wasn't sure if it was really allowed, but had to try it.

Leaving Holloman AFB.
You know, riding a bike isn't all that bad and idea no matter what the reason.

Around Alamogordo, NM.

The middle guy recognized my CORP (Capital Off-Road Pathfinders) mtn. bike jersey....a good buddy of his also belongs to CORP and is a friend of mine from Madison, WI. Small world sometimes.

 

Large cement spillways to control the water when it washes down from the canyon draws. Took a few short cuts across them.
