Bummer, I thought this was a trip to Chile.

This sounds cool though! Too bad I'm not closer.

Will there be Chile cooking competition?

No chile will be roasted as part of the event but while in Las Cruces you can get about anything smothered in the green sauce. Nothing shocks the internals out of visiting wheelers like a downed Cruces style spicy breakfast burrito and a cup of coffee on the trail. The event hosts a Mexican dinner the last night provided by the folks that make the worldç—´ largest enchilada (no joke).

Looks like you guys are lucky to have tons of trails right around your area.
I've passed through Las Cruces a few times on my way back and fourth from SA, Tx to SD, Ca.
I dont think my righ could handle those trails though

Have a good time
