Alex, I think we can work this.

Can we put two bikes on that rack? (Your trade and my bike...I gotta bring it home for the break.) I can stay with my friend in Longmont on Friday night, and we could head out Saturday morning. When's he going to be in Santa Fe?
I was thinking the Villa Linda Mall is pretty easy to get to. Maybe meet at the JCPenny's or something. If he's taking I-25 North from Albuquerque, he can exit on Cerrillos Rd. and he'd end up right at the mall.
