The weather forecast is ominous- I'm opting not to do this ride. Looks not fun, & could be dangerous. Anyone who does part or all of the ride, please email or text me your miles and I'll report them to mileage chair.

The NMLEMR is back!!
Really fun ride that supports local law enforcement. Starting downtown we’ll have a police-escort all the way to the city limits entering Tijeras Canyon. Rest & regroup at the Tijeras Substation with breakfast burritos and other snacks. Then follow the Turquoise Trail north all the way to Santa Fe and free lunch. There are several refreshment/rest-room stops along the route. Return to downtown ABQ via Rail Runner. Free Tee-shirt included with registration.
From the ride website: “The NM Law Enforcement Memorial Ride is a fundraising cycling event on August 20, 2022, that pays tribute the New Mexico Law Enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. The event begins in downtown Albuquerque and travels north 100 kilometers (64 miles) to the NM State Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Santa Fe, NM. Along the route the participants pass six locations where seven officers have given their lives in the line of duty. (A 30k event is also available for those who would like to participate in a much shorter ride.)”

Look for me, John Gillett, at the start area to sign our NMTS waiver and get credit for your miles. I'll be wearing the green NMTS jersey.
