MEMORIAL
WEEKEND
FRIDAY MAY 23 to MONDAY MAY 26
Join me for our 11th annual Christian
Biker outreach trip to Red River, New Mexico
for the Memorial Weekend Motorcycle Rally!
SEE BELOW TO
REGISTER.
As usual, I have paid reservations to
hold several rooms, but we need an accurate head count by March
20--no exceptions. We absolutely need to know by March 20 if
you are going.
TOTAL Cost is
$148 per
person which **includes 3
nights lodging
**and all your meals** FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY
NIGHTS, May 23-26. If you plan to come in on Thursday Night
(which is when I roll in), there is an
additional charge of 50 dollars per person which includes 3
additional meals.
Everyone razzes me for staying in hotels at the
blistering hot rallies throughout the summer. Fact is, after a
hard day and night of outreach, I relish in a hot shower and a
cold bed....Alone! But the Red River trip is the one rally
each year we participate in where the sleeping arrangement more
closely resembles church camp!! i.e.: DORM
STYLE. (read below the Registration Space for
more info on the arrangements.)
Couples in beds, singles
on cots or in sleeping bags--first registered couples
get the beds. Sorry, we
do NOT
have access to single
rooms for
cozy
couples or modest singles.

Space is limited as the entire
town sells out 2 years in advance. We have already paid to
reserve a projected amount of space, but we
must finalize it on the 20th
of March. So, if you can make the trip--and we hope
you do--you will need to send a $75 deposit PER PERSON so
that we receive it by March 20th.
You may also choose to send the entire amount of $148 per
person at this time as we will have many expenses in
preparation for the trip. Email me with your headcount, and
send your deposit to the address below by March 20th.

YOU Must
REGISTER TO ATTEND THIS RALLY AND STAY WITH OUR GROUP AT THESE
RATES: (Rooms in Red River during this rally typically
cost from $100 to $275+ per night. The annual bill for our
kitchen alone is almost $600--not including food. And the
restaurants change to a "tourist pricing" menu. Anyone who has
traveled to Red River in the off season has witnessed the HUGE
pricing difference. The entire town sells out 2 years in
advance for this event.) You're responsible for your own
transportation to and from Red River--there should several
groups heading up. Our 11th trip to Red River. Wow. I can't
believe I first rode solo to this sleepy town in 1998. We have
since then been faithful to this rally, and we have
definitely earned the right to speak to the thousands of bikers
who expect us to be there each year--same spot, same coffee and
treats, same heart for the lost. This year Mickey and Sandy
have AGAIN committed to taking the Army Barracks Hospitality
Tent we are familiar with from most Oklahoma area rallies. This
addition completely altered our outreach in this town in a major
way. We have a heated, lighted place to get inside and minister
to these bikers from all over the world---right at the center of
the gate to the rally! There is rarely less than 15 visitors
INSIDE the tent, and after 9pm we counted as high as 45 cold
bikers inside nightly. Each year on Saturday night we invite
and cook for members of a National Motorcycle Club who are in
Red River on official biker business. What an awesome time we
have showing the love of Jesus to these men and women.
The Red River Motorcycle Rally is one
of a kind. Nestled in a valley in the mountains of New Mexico
at an altitude of 9,000 feet, the small ski resort town of Red
River (native population 400) transforms itself into a mini
Sturgis for Memorial Weekend with over 10,000 bikers from all
over the country--in fact, the world. The ministry
opportunities, the food, the shows, the mountain scenery, the
rides around the 100 mile Enchanted Circle--are all
breathtaking. Services are held each night at 5PM. We set
up the Christian Biker hospitality tent downtown with live bands
and offer free coffee, fellowship and prayer for the entire
weekend, even into the wee hours of the morning. You will stay
in a lodge with a fireplace, kitchen, full baths, and room for
quite a few folks--couples in
beds, singles on cots or in sleeping bags--first registered get
the beds. We cook all our meals, and our chief cooks
-(My mom and stepdad)-are a real blessing to this event. Just
absolutely a great time of fellowship, food, and close-knit
ministry. From the lodge, it is one half mile to the outreach
tent. I usually ride back and forth, to see the sights, but
many walk.
Call us if you have any questions,
and we look forward to hearing from you. Keep in mind,
your PAID registration reserves a bed/space and tells us how
much food to buy.
