The beginning of December is a great time to escape the city’s hustle and bustle, for a ride through the quiet country, enjoying the relaxing, winding curves towards our destination of Willard Cantina and Cafe where the "chile has attitude!" The owner and staff treat guests like family and are happily awaiting our arrival.

With all the holiday season activities, we opted to cancel the December 22 ride, so this is the last scheduled group ride of 2024. Let’s get out and enjoy it!

Kick Stands Up from Thunderbird Harley-Davidson at 10:00am; please arrive early with a full tank for the ride briefing and to sign in.  

After Kick Stands Down at the Willard Cantina, then everyone has options to return to Albuquerque. You can follow Darrell as he leads the way back. Another option, weather permitting, is to add a few more hours of riding to the shorter winter day by traveling on to Corona and Vaughn, as the original ride had planned, before returning home independently.  Or, choose your own adventure!

For the newer riders, please remember that the weather in this area during winter can change, becoming dangerous quickly if you are not adequately prepared for it, so please consider returning with the main group.
