Rendezvous
Pictures from Past Rendezvous's
Each year the members of BCHNM far-flung chapters gather somewhere in New Mexico's splendid back country to ride, laugh, discuss business, learn, renew acquaintances, make new friends, and show off their skills and those of their mounts. The Rendezvous is a great way to experience parts of The Land of Enchantment beyond your own back yard by riding with people who know their territory as well as you know yours.
The Rendezvous is hosted by a different chapter each year, so rides, contests, and entertainment are unique to the terrain and talent of the members who put the event together. Some activities will evoke memories of past Rendezvous. Others will surprise and delight you.
You might have to travel from one end of New Mexico to the other to take advantage of the fun, but you'll discover it's worth the drive.
Must be a Chapter Member to attend!! Join a Local Chapter soon and come enjoy the fun!!
