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.

Currently not on this ride

The plan is to drive over on Thursday, Nov 17 (with a stop in Hatch for burgers at Sparky’s), ride the Chuck Huckleberry Loop (53 mi +/-) on Friday the 18th, ride the El Tour (64 or 102 mi) on Saturday the 19th, and return to ABQ on Sunday the 20th. Some may want to go earlier/stay longer for a touristy experience. I’ve located reasonably priced lodgings at Ramada by Wyndham on Cushing St. It’s about a mile from the El Tour venue, and 1/10 mile from the Huckleberry Loop. Book hotel now- there’s no charge for cancellation up to 24 hours in advance. The El Tour entry fee is $135 thru 6/15. Then the fee rises $10/month thru 11/1. (It’s non-refundable, but trip insurance can be purchased for a reasonable price.)
