What’s happening . . .

New speed limit signs are popping up on paved trails in Albuquerque as part of a new law that was passed in 2024.

The e-bike ordinance, which went into effect in September, allows e-bikes on paved multi-use trails and open space trails. In an effort to boost safety among all trail users, the city’s Parks and Recreation Department has begun installing signs to educate and remind people about the set speed limit.

The annual NMTS Awards Banquet will take place at 6 PM, Sunday, April 27, 2025, at Tomasita’s New Mexican Restaurant, 4949 Pan American Fwy NE, Albuquerque, NM. The restaurant is located on the I-25 frontage road (west side), south of the intersection with Jefferson.

All NMTS members and their guests are invited to attend. The NMTS Awards Banquet recognizes the individual contributions and achievements of club members during calendar year 2024. All riders with more than 1,000 club miles in 2024 will be individually recognized, and individual mileage patches will be presented to those who have requested the patch. Club-wide achievement and special recognition awards will also be presented. At Tomasita’s, we have reserved a large private room (the “party room”) for our Banquet. Attendees will order from a special banquet menu and pay individually for their meals and drinks at the end of the banquet.

Many of you will remember prior-year Banquets, which were held at Little Anita’s in Old Town. This year will be a bit different: a new venue (Tomasita’s), a nice, large private room reserved for our Banquet, and individual payment for meals and drinks at the Banquet. Please come if you can, for a great meal, an opportunity to socialize with other club members, and a chance to applaud the individual accomplishments of NMTS members in 2024. All are sure to have a great time!
