There is no charge for these rides.

I'm leading mountain bike rides in the Jemez Mountains this fall.

Next Rides:

Saturday September 26, 2026
Location: On the mesas between Jemez Springs and FR376
Route to be determined.
24.5 miles 1700 ft of climb
This route is good, mostly avoiding main roads, but don't expect buff single track.
Bailout options, if you want a shorter ride.

If you would like a gravel route to do yourself, I can provide a route with all the needed information.

Meet: On the mesas at FR604/607 map
Meet Time: 9:30 MDT

Sunday September 27, 2026

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 from one of the last rides.

Tent rock surprise.

We were crazy enough to climb out the hard way.

We only had light drizzle where we were.

Fog in the canyon after the rain.

We followed the rim for several miles.

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.

Future Dates for Jemez rides (tentative):
October 10,11
October 24,25
November 7,8

That will be it for this year.

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

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.
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.

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? 31 miles 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.

I am starting to train for the Iron Horse Classic next year.
I'd like to have someone to ride the road with me.
