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.

Ebikes OK?

Yes, see conditions above

I didn't go around the mountain (ATM) at all last year. Let's not repeat that mistake! There are a few mud/slush spots on the dirt road, but the stream in Las Huertas Canyon is running and there should be plentiful flowers and birds. The route in general is the normal one to the end of the pavement above Placitas, then up the dirt NM 165 to Balsam Glade Campground, optionally out and back to Sandia Crest, and finally back to AOS via Tijeras Canyon (Gutierrez optional) and Tramway. A link to the route on Ride with GPS is [here](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34235760).

This is a long and hard ride. It will not be sagged or swept. You should embark on this only if you can do it all by yourself! That said, I hope to see you there!
