Not only do the Lodge at Red River and Motherlode Saloon consider themselves the most biker friendly establishments in town, but they are also ground zero for the Memorial Day weekend Rally and other biker events.

The owners and staff at the Lodge and Motherlode like bikers, appreciate biker business and want to be the number-one place to stay in Red River for motorcyclists.

You can watch the rally roll by from one of the Lodge's many balconies. The Lodge has a Mardi Gras feel with balconies on the 1st and 2nd stories, facing East, South and West..

The Lodge, its bar/restaurant and the Motherlode Saloon account for the majority of a city block on the most happenning section of Main Street (between the bars)...

From the Lodge's balconies an amazing array of wildlife can be seen, enjoyed and photographed with a cold drink in hand...

Don't expect to get a room at the Lodge Memorial Day weekend. It's booked 'till Mr Clean says elsewise, but there is hope. The Lodge & Motherlode run biker specials from May thru October...

Nine out of ten bikers agree that during the rally, or any other time, its hard to beat the fun, food and drinks that are served up at the Lodge & Motherlode.

The Lodge has special biker rates for individuals and packages for groups. There are twenty-four rooms in the lodge, sleeping aproximately 50 people. Its restaurant seats 70 and has a bar, connected lobby and upstairs great room that combined can handle groups and gatherings up to 100. Meal packages are available to groups that book the entire lodge.

For the month of June, the last two weeks of August, all of September and October, the biker special is 40% of the regular rates of $84 for a queen double occupancy and $106 for adjoining rooms sharing a bathroom. The entire Lodge, its bar and restaurant can be rented for $995 per night (two night minimum.) That's less than $20 per person to have the whole joint to yourselves, with your own maids, bartenders, wait staff and cooks at your beck and call (and it's all within crawling distance of The Motherlode next door).

The meal plans are as follows... $19.95 per day plus tax, per person includes breakfast and dinner

Breakfast served 7:30-11:00 and includes choice of (one) coffee, tea, milk or juice and the coldest cleanest mountain water and air you can nurse a hangover with... And if you are...nursin' that is, ask about Weldon's world famous Cajun Gator Meat Bloody Marys... if they don't cure ya, you're dead...

Eggs cooked to order, served with hash browns, toast or biscuit, choice of bacon, ham or sausage or full stack pancakes or Belgian waffle with fruit or oatmeal with raisins, brown sugar & walnuts, served with toast, or ask for the Biker Burrito if you're feeling manly...

Dinner served 4:30 - 8:30 and you have your choice of:

Chicken Fried Steak

Any of the chicken entrees

Sauteed Rainbow Trout like you won't believe...

16 oz. T-Bone Steak

Nightly Special

1/2 Pound Ground Chuck Angus Biker-Burger with Fries, try it NM style with green chille...
