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.

Ebikes OK?

Yes, see conditions above

For a 2000' elevation gain this ride is actually mostly flat or downhill. The 9-mile climb from Bernalillo to EOP accounts for 1200'. Then we get to cruise DOWN 1200'! The ABQ - Bernalillo portions are flat, with a final 200', 1-mile climb from traffic circle to I25.

Starts @ La Reforma at 9, we'll work our way down thru the Balloon Park, S on NDC Tr to Alameda Blvd W, Edith N, Alameda Rd W, 4th St N to traffic circle, Hwy 313 N to Bernalillo. Avenida Bernalillo E, S. Hill Rd N, Hwy 165 E thru Placitas to end-of-pavement (or as far as you want to ride.) Then back-track to traffic circle, Roy E, I25 W. Frontage Rd S, Balloon Fiesta Pkwy W, San Mateo S to La Reforma (food & drink!)
