9/23/2024 UPDATE
Registration for single riders and tandems is $67 Sept 23rd - 29th. Online registration ends Thursday at 11:59pm. Walk-ups are welcome at packet pick-up on Saturday from 3-6 at Trek Albuquerque or on Sunday starting at 6:00am-ish.
All route information documents and ridewithgps data is updated and current.
If interested in a ride t-shirt or cycling jersey, one may order it from the registration page area until Sunday 9/29 at 11:59P. T-Shirts will ship in about two weeks after the tour. Jerseys up to 6 weeks.
80mi and 100mi riders will continue up NM-116 / N Main St in Belen and not take NM-109 North. We found this change to be less of a headache with the trains periodically stopping on NM-109
Rest Stop 1 is moving from the Los Lunas Transportation Center parking lot to The Daniel Fernandez Park just south of the transportation center on the west side of NM-314. This location is right off of NM-314 and will be easier for riders to see and access.
Information on 2025 to follow at the conclusion of the tour. Keep on riding!
Sincerely,
Michael O. Wieclaw
