Moving to New Mexico...

We are moving from the San Francisco Bay Area to the Santa Fe, NM Area within the next month or so.
Although I am going to miss the trails here big time, I am looking forward to the great biking in
NM. I have ridden some great trails up in the Sandia Mountains above Albuquerque, but I am not sure
what is in Santa Fe and other parts of the state. Any suggestions on the best trails?

like you said, there are good trails in the Sandia's. i assume you are talking of the ski-lift
ones? anyway, on the west side foothills (above Tramway and north of Montgomery) there are some
good ones too. check out Albuquerque Bike Center and ask them for some spots, they'll hook you up.

Thanks for the info. The trail that I have ridden up in the Sandia's was off the Tijeras exit
somewhere off of 337. Great single-track trails. I'm sure there is something closer to Santa Fe that
is notable. I have seen a lot of bikers in that area....

You don't have to dive an hour plus for good trails.

In Santa Fe

Atalaya Trail Borrego Trail Dale Ball North, Central, and South.

In Los Alamos Agua Piedra Trail Los Alamos charcoal Trail Pajarito Trail

Farmington has some great riding also. Most of the high trails in the north are under snow, but
there are a few groups going out on snowshoes this time of year.

See http://www.swcp.com/nmcycling/ For New Mexico racing and riding. They have a very active
email group.

The low elevation (under 5,000 ft.) trails down south are still snow free.
