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.

Chuck Malagodi, an advocate for Cycling in Albuquerque for more than 25 years, was the victim of a hit and run accident on Sunday, January 19, 2025 while returning home from volunteering at Free Bikes 4 Kidz. We will join the community for a 10 mile ride on Saturday January 25th at 2pm from Balloon Fiesta Park (ridewithgps.com/routes/49523504) in his honor.

Chuck Malagodi worked as a program manager for the City of Albuquerque’s Outdoor Recreation Education program for 25 years. During this time he developed an outdoor recreation program, an elementary and Jr. High School safe cycling curriculum that services over 10,000 youth per year, developed and implemented bike mechanics/ share the road/safe routes to school programs and created the City of Albuquerque’s Esperanza Community Bike Shop.

Before the City of Albuquerque, Chuck worked as a bike guide for Backroads Bicycle Touring, a youth minister and as a district representative for the Chrysler Corporation. Chuck holds a Bachelor’s degree in industrial technology and a master’s degree of Education in Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. He lives in Albuquerque with his wife, dog, and cat.

Chuck was also involved with Free Bikes 4 Kidz in New Mexico! This organization distributed 1,100 bikes around New Mexico with the help of volunteers, community partners and local businesses. Every kid should grow up with a bike!
