From what I hear it is a spin off from the red river ralley. Wondered how big it is?

Looks like fun. Unfortunatly, I'll be in San Francisco that week end.
Salida is a beautifull area. We ride out there for lunch a lot. There's a great pizza place a couple blocks off main street. They have a wood fired stove and make their own beer. Either rt50 or rt24 is nice. I often take a big loop out one and back the other (I live in Colorado Springs). It's only a 230 mile circle - perfect for an easy day ride. |

KT,
I went last year and thought there were better rally's to visit in Colorado. The weather in the mountains can be pretty upredictable and it wasn't that good on that particular weekend. If I was making a run to Colorado I'd wait and go to Cripple Creek in August. |
RE: Salida, Co ... Memorial Day Weekend?
We went out for the day last year. It wasn't too bad considering it was the first one but it left a lot to be desired.
Maybe in a few years it will amount to something. Cripple Creek in August... incredible. |

We did red river last yr & are looking for something different this yr, Weve heard about Cripple Creek but thats the weekend after we get back from Sturgis. Were hoping the rally will be bigger & better this yr.

The Salida Memorial Rally was conceived after two bikers were killed in the area of Red River and the law in New Mexico did practically nothing. They were killed when a kid with no license in his grandaddys truck hit them head on. He got off with a slap on the back of his hand. All hush hush.... but two decent men were killed and their other halfs were severely screwed up for the rest of their lives.
Watch your ass if you ride in New Mexico. They can't drive and their laws are WAY crazy. |

Is there much available lodging down there or would it be best to try and camp?
