[NMCycling] Roads Closed South of Hillsboro - Race is No Go

[Clay Sharp]

Hi David; yeah, kinda figured that was going to happen. Working hard in
Alamogordo to get a Tandem Team started for Blind/Visually Impaired and
anyone else that wants to join us. Currently know of 4 Blind Stokers that
would like to eventually do formal events and races.

My wife and I showed up for and raced in the Engle TT last year on a Tandem
and we've also done the Tour de Acoma in 2024.

We've now done 7 rides with Blind Stokers and hoping we can include them in
future New Mexico events and not just Paracycling events next year and also
in the foreseeable future.

We're also looking for experienced cyclists that would be willing to Pilot
Tandems and share the freedom of cycling events/racing

Thanks
Clay Sharp
