Proposed Route:

From TBHD, Alameda west to NM-47 (2nd St.)
NM-47 south to Paseo Del Norte
Paseo Del Norte west to Atrisco Vista Blvd.

NM-23/Casa Blanca Rd. south to the Acoma Sky City Cultural Center

Anticipate arriving at the Cultural Center around 10:30 am.  Kick stands down is at the Center.  The Center offers the following at your leisure:

A museum that showcases the history, creativity, and culture of the Acoma people (Museum - Sky City Cultural Center & Haaku Museum; ph. #505-552-7878)

Lunch at the café (click this link Cafe - Sky City Cultural Center & Haaku Museum for the hours of operation and menu; ph. #505-552-7878)
And/or you can tour the Acoma Pueblo/Sky City site (Acoma Pueblo - Sky City Cultural Center & Haaku Museum).  Note that tours require a fee and they start every hour on the half hour starting at 9:30 am to 3:30 pm.  A tour bus takes visitors from the Center to Sky City (approximately ¾-mile from the Cultural Center).   

For those that do not want to have lunch at the above-mentioned café, there is a Laguna Burger Restaurant (link The World Famous Laguna Burger | Fresh With A Kick!) at the 66 Pit Stop gas station located next to I-40 at exit #114 (where we exited I-40 on the way to our ride destination).

As previously mentioned, kick stands down is at the Acoma Sky City Cultural Center so the ride back is on your own.  If fuel is needed for the return trip, there is a Route 66 Travel Center at I-40 exit #108 or the 66 Pit Stop at I-40 exit #114.   

For those club members doing the county challenge, this ride goes though Bernalillo and Cibola counties.
