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 a 41-mile gravel/mixed surface route out on the West Mesa.

Pace will be designed to keep the group together. Some will think it is fast, some will think it is slow. There will be bailout points along the way.

There are a lot of turns to stay on the good roads. I recommend loading the route.

Conditions are good out on the Mesa right now but there may be short sections of sand or washboarding. The entire route is ridable with 38-40mm tires. If you bring a road bike, you'll be hiking. A MTB will have a hard time keeping up.

Bring plenty of water/food. There is no water out on the mesa.

I've done this route under 3 hrs. I'm expecting the group to be 3-3.5 hrs.
