There is no charge for these rides.

I will be leading free rides in the Jemez mountains again in 2026.

Next rides:

Saturday June 27, 2026

Virgin Mesa
20-25 mi. dependent upon the group

Sunday June 28, 2026
Cebollita Mesa
15-20 mi. dependent upon the group
Non-technical
Minimal climbing
Comfortable pace

Location: On the Mesas west of Jemez Springs

Most of these will avoid the roads where possible.
You will not find these routes on any of the trail apps.

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

Here are some highlights for Saturday's ride.

I will create a similar page for Sunday's ride, time permitting.
In the mean time go to Mesa Photos.

Want to explore even more? Get this Interactive Photo Map for all the mesas.

If you would like to join us, R.S.V.P. by email.
If you want to be on the list to be notified of future rides, send an email.

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.

Upcoming Rides:
Saturday July 18
Sunday July 19

Are you looking to escape the heat and looking for other places to ride?

If you searched All Trails, Trail Forks 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.
Here are the roads on the mesas that are currently being used by vehicles.

In the mean time, I can send you some upon request. I currently have over 45 route available. I plan to post them on this site, when I get a chance. While these are good for mountain biking, especially for gravel bikes, there are many more old roads and routes that are even more fun to ride.

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.

I prefer weekdays, 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
Meet Time: Typically ~ 9:00 MDT

Come and enjoy a real adventure.

There is no charge for these rides.

Local Rides:

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

What's is the maze? 31miles of cool single track ranging from easy to very technical-trialsin sections.

Most Saturdays when I'm not in the mountains I ride:

Winter - Sandia foothills, Placitas Open Space, Buffalo Tract or Bernalillo Watershed

Spring/Fall - Cedro/Otero, Lower Sandia East, Golden Open Space

Summer - East side of Sandias.

I usually ride at least 6 hours. You can bailout early, if you need to.
