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 is one of NMTS's favorite traditional rides. Bill Thompson has led it in the past, but I offered to lead it this year. (John Britt)

Meet at the municipal parking lot in Jemez Springs, ready to depart on the ride at 9:00 AM. The municipal parking lot is in the center of town, on the west(left) side of the road-across from Los Ojos Saloon and near the Jemez Springs bathhouse. Drive time from Albuquerque is 1 hour plus; optional meet at Sandia Casino the carpool, leaving not later than 07:45 AM. Park in the southern-most lot at the Casino - two right turns off of Rainbow. This ride involves over 3000 ft. of climbing from Jemez Springs to the Valle Grande, with moderately steep sections. However, on the plus side, the scenery and views are wonderful, and you get to descend the hills you worked so hard to climb on the way back. [Route Map](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/4657907)
