Watch for that Big Bend, Mr. Simkin!

From Ron Simkin of Memphis, TN…

It is a blast using your maps. I ride with a group of guys from different parts of the country. We started using Mad Maps about a year and a half ago. It has been a great tool to use, but there is a problem . When we go on a trip, we get your maps and try to do each trip that is in the region that is on the map. Last month, we were looking at Mad Maps for Texas and decided to do Big Bend and the Hill Country. When we got to Big Bend, we ended up with a Mad Map of New Mexico and Colorado. We should have headed home, but the map got us intoxicated to continue!

So, we went up to Taos, New Mexico and around that region using your map. What a great ride! Check out the cool pictures taken by fellow rider Scott Marsh of Nashville.

My friends said no more Mad Maps until next year. I am now sending them Maps to get them going for the first of the year. If anybody goes touring, it is a must to use these and do the routes. We have conquered Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, Southern Utah and Nevada. The first of next year will be Florida, then when things warm up it’ll be time for Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. Finally, it’ll be up to the Northeast to New England.

We just received this cool image from MAD Maps fan Penny Salzman of Fairbury, Illinois. Penny decided to  head out West using our brand- new USRT040 Colorado/New Mexico map. Looks like our local MAD Scout who researched this area sure did good! Keep on ridin’, Penny!
