Folks, we are going to split up into two groups: You can ride with me in the bosque or you can ride with Diane Rimple in the foothills. The bosque ride is a fun, winding singletrack ride through cottonwood trees in flat terrain down by the river. You can go fast or slow on this one. You will see Canada geese and maybe sandhill cranes, possibly porcupines, while whizzing by on your bike. The foothills ride will be slightly longer, with moderate climbs and descents in rocky terrain. You will see the occasional coyote, the Albuquerque jogger, and feral housecats. We have taken classes to both places in previous years and you will get your money's worth no matter which location you decide. There is a didactic component to this, so be prepared to learn something about biking injuries!
Bosque with Joe: Go to the Alameda Trailhead at 9:00am. Directions: take I-25 north to Alameda, go left. Just before you cross the river, turn left into the parking lot. Contact me if you need help with your bike, etc. See below.
Foothills with Diane: Go to the parking lot at the top of Indian School at 9:00am. Take I-40 west to Tramway. Go left (north) on tramway. Indian School is the 4th stoplight. Go right until you reach the trailhead.
We will need to get a head count, so leave a message with me @ 280-5181 or Jason to let us know what you are up to!
We will ride until lunchtime and there will be scenarios along the way. Be certain to bring a well maintained bike. We don't need mechanical breakdowns on the trail.
At 4:30pm we will meet at the biopark aquarium parking lot for diving emergencies and marine envenomation demonstrations!
Good Luck!!!!
