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 dirt/gravel ride will start ay my house (2840 Rio Grande Blvd NW). Park in the open lot just north of the house.

This is a gravel/dirt ride in the Albuquerque Bosque area along mostly single tracks and irrigation ditch banks. We will ride west from the start on Campbell Road to the Bosque. We will ride south through the Bosque to just south of Rio Bravo where we will transition to the ditch bank. When we reach Valle de Oro we will ride through the Wildlife Refuge out to Second Street. We will ride Second Street north to the Chavez Loop and follow the loop west until we can return to the ditch bank. From there we will return via the route we used to go south.

Any bike with wide tires that can get through a bit of sand will be fine for this ride. In some spots you may need to walk your bike through the short spans of sand if your tires are not wide enough.

We will stay together and will take our time on this ride. If you have not spent much time on the dirt tracks in the Bosque you will enjoy the much different view of the Bosque compared to riding the Bosque River Trail.

Bring plenty of water.
