Sound like a great trip! I'm predicting a NM journey in my very near future...
The restaurant at La Fonda is really nice, but we've never stayed in the hotel.
Did you guys see the miracle staircase?
Yep, love the food, weather scenerey, and ROADS!
We should plan a week-long Taos run, maybe leave on a Saturday morning, return the following Saturday.

Was a good get away for sure. Warm, windy weather certainly didn't spoil the trip. Never stayed at La Fonda either but the margs on the roof bar at sundown are legendary... always a good crowd. Actually, never have eaten at La Fonda either. Almost did on one of the marg/roof/sundown nights but chose to eat elsewhere. Yep, had to do the miracle staircase and the whole cathedral thing... Jen being the good Catholic girl she is had to take it all in. Along with the Taos high road trip we also buzzed (OK, puttered in the VW renter...) up to the Santa Fe ski lifts... killer road!!! Would pay HUGE money to go up and down that twisty SOB on a Hypermotard!!! And for Will's entertainment (our resident cyclist ) we followed a group of mountain bike riders back down the road from the top. I kept my distance and just shadowed them in the car. Those guys were f#@king hauling ass!! No shit, I bet they could have beaten half of us on our Ducatis... no offense, but those guys knew that road really well and had huge nads!! Hell, it was all I could do to keep them in sight and not scare the shit out of Jen. She's not big on two lane roads, curves or mountain sides. What's wrong with her?? Amazing downhill run!! All on m-bike knobbies too!! When they pulled off at their cars at the bottom of the road I had to slow down to honk, wave and give them a thumbs up... Jen thought I was being my usual dork self but they deserved the applause!

OK, end of thread jack #2!

Well, more people = less cost, so money becomes less of a factor...
