Rough Rider Motorcycle Rally Las Cruces
Has anyone heard of this rally before? Has anyone went to it? Just curious because I have never heard of it but then again what do I know
Rough Rider Motorcycle Rally
Early in 1898, Theodore Roosevelt recruited the 1st Volunteer Calvary Regiment from the western territories. He chose to enlist these men because of his confidence in their ability to adapt, their self-sufficiency and their courage. The regiment’s performance during the Spanish-American War proved his belief in the frontier character. The men he chose came from various backgrounds and circumstances. Even so, these men all formed strong personal ties. Led by Theodore Roosevelt, a reunion of the regiment was held in Las Vegas in 1899. Over 600 of the original 1000 soldiers attended. During the next 70 years, Rough Rider reunions were held to honor the regiment’s military service, but especially to celebrate the camaraderie and unique personalities that defined the Rough Riders.
The Rough Rider Motorcycle Rally will bring motorcyclists from all walks of life, and once again camaraderie, unique bikes and personalities will characterize the Rally. The tradition started by Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders over 100 years ago will again continue into the future. This time, riders who come to Las Vegas will be riding Iron Horses.
General Information & Fees:Barbecue, music, vendor booths, $30,000 custom motorcycle raffle, bike show, tatoo contest, bike rodeo, poker run, and pancake breakfast.
Location & Directions:
Las Vegas is on Interstate 25 in Northeastern New Mexico, 60 miles north of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

RE: Rough Rider Motorcycle Rally Las Cruces
This is the "first annual"... Hopefully it will be better than the (now defunct) "first annual" Alamogordo Rally that they had a couple years ago ...or the "first annual" Alien Rally that Roswell had last year. (Got a cool tee-shirt there, that was IT!)
NM has some great rallies. It is going to be hard to get good crowd for all these other start-ups when there are so many good, established rallies to go to on a fairly regular basis.
Oh, and it is in Las Vegas, NM...not Las Cruces.
