Ride Description
Join us for an early morning ride through some of New Mexico's most scenic roads as we head to the cool mountain air of Hyde Park for a relaxing picnic lunch.
We'll depart from 100 Bien Mur Dr NE, Albuquerque, making our way across Historic Route 66 before joining I-40 East and connecting with the legendary Turquoise Trail (NM-14). This beautiful stretch offers sweeping views, gentle curves, and the unique charm of New Mexico's mining towns and high desert landscape.
From the Turquoise Trail we'll continue north via NM-599 and I-25 into Santa Fe before winding through the city's historic streets onto Bishops Lodge Road and Artist Road. The ride finishes with an enjoyable climb up NM-475 (Hyde Park Road), where cooler temperatures, towering pines, and mountain scenery provide the perfect backdrop for our destination.
