Upcoming Rides

 I will be leading free rides in the Jemez mountains again this year.

Next rides:

Location: On the Mesas west of Jemez Springs

Saturday May 10
15-25 miles 

Sunday May 11
10-15 miles

Send an email to R.S.V.P. and get details.

Send me an email if you would like to be on the list to be notified.

I ride  all year . If you would like to join me, send me an email.

See other rides at the bottom of this page.

If you are not familiar with this area, check out the photos in my photo photo gallery.

If you searched All Trails, Trail Forks, Caltopo and other map sites you have found that there are very few trails shown in the Jemez Mountains.
The reality is there is an abundance of riding opportunities waiting for you but you have to know where they are.
Note: Caltopo shows some roads the no longer exist. Beware.

Here are the roads on the mesas that are currently being used by vehicles.
While these are good for mountain biking and gravel bikes, there are many more old roads and single track routes that are even more fun to ride.

I am leading rides in the Jemez Mountains again. Most of these will avoid the roads where possible.
You will not find these routes on any of the trail apps.

           

If you would like to join me, send me  an email and I will send you the information for the next ride(s).

Please include your preferences for ride length, difficulty, riding style and day(s) of the week. 

There are lots of options. I prefer to do rides of 15 to 30 miles, but am willing to do shorter or longer rides. 

I'll do slow easy rides if there is a large enough group that wants that. 
I'm also open to leading hikes or bike with a hike if you have at least 4 people. I prefer weekdays for hikes, but can do weekends, too.

If you will be visiting from out of state and would like to schedule a tour, I will do that, as long as I am available for that time.

If you are looking for a 2 hour blast downhill, this isn't it.
If you want an adventure with incredible scenery at a comfortable pace, you have found the right place.

 
   
Starting Location:  Typically on the mesas at or within a few miles of FR604/607   map 
Start Time: Typically ~ 9:00  MDT

Come and enjoy a real adventure.

Local Rides (Albuquerque, NM area)

Most weekdays when I'm not in the mountains:  Daisy Maze (Tijeras Arroyo) The time varies.

What's is the maze?  32 miles of cool single track ranging from easy to very technical-trialsin sections.

Most Saturdays when I'm not in the Jemez, I ride in the Sandias or Cedro/Otero.  I like to ride at least 6 hours on those rides.
