That City Park has a LOT of green on it! In the late '80s, Midland-Odessa and Roswell-Carlsbad-Portales used to have some bike races (or town-to-town rides with overnight camping if folks wanted to) using Hobbs and their hub. It was only 100-200 folks but there were a couple of families who rolled in chuck-wagons and THOSE drew 500+ for supper. I don't remember where - I don't think it was near campus, though, and it was summer time so maybe facilities there were shuttered? I never kept up with those organizers... the oil bust was gaining speed all the time.
Hobbs has a lot of water and they're not afraid to use it. The Chuck Wagans may have been at the Campus Arena near the Hall of Fame. I'm not sure on that one, but they host several events there per year.
@@WalkAroundWithRalph-ut8sl Those suppers were on the outskirts of town... I have a sense some landowner said, "Yeah, come on out, stay here for the night." Kind of like Yazgur's Farm at 'Woodstock', I thought. I HOPE the litter wasn't a tenth as bad! And there were other landowners involved because the wagons had a cross-country path with downed (or rolled up) fences. Ft. Stockton used to have a 3-day 'chuck-wagon' race from ?? Iraan ?? (naw - it couldn't have been THAT far - 62 miles with some significant canyons). From McCamey (45 miles?) - more likely. It was cross country for a good amount, and campers - dozens? 100? - were included for Ft Stockton's "Pioneer Days". We did bike vs. chuck wagon races and it was no match - bikes, easily coasting down hill, and much faster at climbing - were finished that first day. After that, there were races in 'stages' - on Day 1, race to Camping Spot #1 and account for your finishing time, accumulating all three days' time. Ah, those were the late '80s, into the early '90s. Lotsa bike shops closed up soon thereafter as the oil-boom of the early '80s was busts.
