Ground Zero 3.0



Atomic Trent is at it again! The third annual Ground Zero Throwdown is coming up in September and we're rolling out there for sure. It's a perfect excuse to ride in a bitchin' area, do some camping and hell raising. More info is available on the GZ blog. Here's the plan according to Trent:

Plan is for a day ride-camp, ride-show deal. BBQ will be at lake Abiquiu, NM. A mild 150 mile ride each day.

Sept 5, day one: Meet up at Ribs BBQ on NM 14. Ride to Lake Abiquiu, set up camp, bbq, swim, hang out, tell lies. BBQ will cost $5 per person (all you can eat) and its byob for the drinks.

Sept 6, day two: The second day takes us over NM 126 which is partially unpaved, so be ready. This is sort of a chopper adventure ride. I test rode the dirt section last weekend, the road is much improved compared to the last time I rode it! No worries here guys and gals, if you know how to ride a motorcycle, you will be able to ride this road.

Once we get back into Albuquerque everyone can just break off and do your own thing.. Rest, recover, fix your bike, whatever... The show starts at 6 pm.. 3rd street and Golden, downtown Albuquerque. Same $10 entry fee as in years past. (more on details of the block party as we firm up plans).

Pretty simple and a helluva lot of fun. Not really organized as far as departure times yet, but I am thinking the only time that will matter is the initial kick off at Ribs. From then on out, everyone will have a map (hint, print this map now) or will at least know the destination and be expected to be a big boy or girl and find their way.

Bring your own camp gear, be self sufficient.. This isnt a babysitting gig, its a motorcycle ride.

Here's some pics from last year....
