NMTS Ride Schedule

NOTE: In addition to these one time rides, the club has recurring rides most days of the week. To view them, choose the "Weekly Rides" link in the menu at your left.

Pace is the speed, plus or minus one, that will be maintained on flat terrain with no wind. Distance refers to miles traveled in a day; on multi-day rides it refers to total miles for the trip, and a daily average is calculated from that.

Rides with a light-green background occur over multiple days

HELMETS CSPC, Snell or ANSI Approved Helmets are REQUIRED for all NMTS rides.
EBIKES Class 1 E-bikes are welcome where conditions allow, and at the ride leader's discretion. Class 2 and Class 3 E-bikes are not permitted on NMTS rides.

This is the traditional Thursday Crest ride. The full route is from the Smith's at Tramway and Central to the top of Sandia Crest for a 60 mile round trip. Alternative start locations are in the town of Tijeras (46 miles round trip), and the triangle at the intersection of North 14 and NM 536 (27 miles round trip). Turning around at any point on the ride is also a possibility so the distance traveled is up to the rider. It is a challenging and very scenic ride.

Or send me a message and I will email you a nicely formatted PDF map and cue sheet. Refreshments are available at multiple vendors near the triangle and in Tijeras. The Forest Service has recently opened restrooms at picnic grounds along the crest road but the Crest house and restroom at the top were closed as of last week.

This ride is being conducted in accordance with the NMTS Club Rides During Pandemic document that is available on the NMTS website homepage.
