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 Ride is being conducted as a one-day virtual ride in accordance with the NMTS Club Rides During Pandemic document that is available on the NMTS website homepage. Starting at Alameda Open Space parking, the route heads south on the Bosque Trail but soon turns west, staying mostly on bike trails to climb the West Mesa and reach Atrisco Vista Blvd. After a couple of miles south, the route turns into Double Eagle Airport for a rest stop and chance to use the restrooms and get water at the Airport operations building. Returning to Atrisco Vista, the route continues south, crosses I-40, and then turns east on Dennis Chavez Blvd. After a fun descent off the West Mesa, Dennis Chaves turns into Rio Bravo Blvd after crossing Coors Blvd. Turn left at Isleta Blvd, but soon turn right to reach La Vega Rd, a residential street just west of the river. This part of the route features a short rest stop at the "pot plant" on La Vega. Turning right onto Bridge Blvd, the route crosses the river and turns north again on the Riverside and Bosque Trails. Near Tingley Beach, the route turns off the Trail to ride by the Country Club and around the golf course to reach Rio Grande Blvd. North on Rio Grande brings the rider back to Alameda Blvd and the starting point at Alameda Open Space parking lot. The specific route is given at https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34819187.
