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.

Yes, see conditions above

This ride is for riders who do not have the time or inclination to do a longer ride. We start at Indian School Rd. and Chelwood. Parking is at the NE corner of church lot on Chelwood.

When I was recovering from an illness a few years ago, I started to do this short loop to get my cycling legs back. I now offer it to new riders and those getting back into bicycling. It usually takes me about 2-1/2 hours to complete, hence the speed to 10 mph.

This ride consists mainly of Bike Trails, Lanes and Routes. Short climbing grades are less then 3.5%. Total elevation gain is about 1,350 ft.

The ride heads north on Chelwood to Commanche and onto Tramway. Then north along Tramway and under I-25 to Balloon Park and the North Diversion Channel Trail. Transition to the Paseo del Nordeste Trail to Pennsylvania. South to Winrock and east on the Embudo Trail back to the starting point.
