NMTS Ride Schedule

Starting in Tijeras, NM, this route winds around on East Mountain roads through Cedar Grove and goes over Heartbreak Hill – from the east (the easy way). After a break at the Triangle Shell gas station and convenience store (water,restrooms) in San Antonito, the route returns to the start via the scenic Gutierrez Canyon Rd.

The ride is mostly rollers with ascents of less than 4%; 6% in a short span at Gutierrez Canyon. There's a nice 13.6% downhill on Heartbreak Hill. There should be little car traffic except for a 10 mile stretch on NM14S from San Pedro to San Antonito where there is a decent road shoulder for bicycling.

It will be cooler than Albuquerque with mild wind, usually from the SW in late morning.

There are no opportunities to get water before the rest stop so bring plenty along.

Please contact ride leader with actual miles (if less than the full 46)
