After 40 minutes of mostly climbing a nice downhill to finish at Elena Gallegoso Picnic area on Albuquerque's popular North Foothills trail.

No blogging in this one. Just some good old riding in the Colorado Foothills on a perfectly gorgeous day. Unfortunately my camera ran out of memory just as I took lead for the more twisty portion of the ride so footage of me taking turns at speed will have to wait until next time. Enjoy the tunes and the beautiful, Colorado scenery.

We were driving along below the foothills of the Laurentian Mountains (the Laurentides, in French). We saw a helicopter take off and then we stopped for poutine, (see the poutine video).

A house I just finished building in my computer. This is the exterior animation, I am rendering the interior animation. It is set at the end of a small mountian range just north of Tucson. They are digging the whole for the house now. Larger still pictures of this house are below

Just driving round talking bout el paso and west

I go through the rest of Black Diamond, show the foothills, go through Longview, another biker warns us of a cop up ahead, stupid cowboy signs, oil pumps, and passing a long row of vehicles.

Barona Valley Ranch Resort and Casino is a San Diego area casino, hotel, and golf course owned by the Barona Band of Mission Indians, and known for sponsoring and housing the Blackjack Hall of Fame. It is one of the three largest casinos in the area, located in the foothills of Lakeside, California, at an elevation near 1,300 feet. The casino started as a 1990s bingo hall that grew into a Native american casino in 1999 after the passing of California's Proposition 1-A, which the Barona tribe had actively promoted. The casino is "dry" in that it does not serve alcohol, but alcohol is available in other locations of the ranch.

In 1932, they used their share of the proceeds to purchase the Barona Ranch. In the early 1990s, they opened a bingo hall at the location. The tribe became active in court cases that eventually legalized Native American bingo halls in California, and were a proponent for the passage of balloted measures such as Proposition 5 and later Proposition 1-A. After 1-A passed, the tribe's bingo hall grew into a full casino, known as The Big Top, which opened in 1999, after which the tribe has played a more passive role in the politics involving Indian gaming.
