Have you ever been to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta?

We haven’t yet, but it is in my must list!

This year the Balloon Fiesta is gonna take place between October 2-10. With more than 700 balloons this festival is the biggest of it’s kind in the world.

If you are going to the festival this year remember that you can ride your bike, the organization teamed with Two Wheel Drive to create the Bike Valet service. This service is going to work between 5:30 am until 9:00 pm every festival day, this is a free service that is going to allow you to enjoy the festival without worrying about the safety of your bike =D
