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

Saturday's forecast is among the best I've seen for this ride. Winds predicted to be only ~5mph and less than 79 degrees from 9:00-1:00.

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

We will meet at the Senior Center just west of the Tijeras library. Please park in lot just south of the senior center. Leave spots close to the buildings for their patrons.
