NMTS Ride Schedule

We have a nice forecast for this Saturday with low winds and sunny sky. So as an alternative to the Oak Flat ride, let's do the Placitas to the end of the pavement ride. It is similar to the Oak Flat ride in difficulty and just short of 37 miles round trip. We will start at 8:00 at the Sandia Pueblo Railrunner station just northeast of the traffic circle at Roy and Hwy 313N. We will take Hwy 313N towards Bernalillo and regroup at the gas station at the Hwy 313 and Avenida Bernalillo stop light. Then go east on Avenida Bernallilo, take a left onto South Road, take a right onto NM-550E. Carefully bike or walk across the I25 entrance/exit ramps and then continue east to where the road becomes NM-165. Continue to the end of the pavement at mile ~18 to our Sag wagon stop with water, drinks, fruit and other goodies.

Retrace your way back towards Bernalillo and NM-550W, turn right onto North Hill Rd, left onto Hill Rd Bypass, right onto South Hill Rd, right onto E. Avenida Bernalillo Rd and left onto NM-313S. We will take a short break at the gas station and then go back to the Sandia Pueblo Railway station.
