The warm weekend opened plenty of low-stress bike riding opportunities, starting with some transit assist up to Central/Tramway.

Once done with the transpo madness through Central/Tramway and under I-40, the ride mostly focused in a wander of residential streets on the “other side” of Tramway. Coming back down the hill, though, I discovered Brentwood Hills NE, a lovely low-stress east/wester between Menaul and Indian School.

Yesterday, riding buddy John and I went out, way out, to the Wild West that is the Jail, Landfill, Speedway combo just this side of the Rio Puerco. Then we came back via this major thoroughfare.

As John noted, it was a two-landfill day! Definitely a route with low-stress components, although we also had a temporary visit from a couple of the underfed, semi-feral dogs you always think about when bouncing along at 5 mph at the corner of Pajarito Rd. and What the Hell Dr. The dogs decided, eventually, that they were not hungry enough for the bother involved in mauling us to death.

A great weekend o’ low-stress (mostly) riding. Hope yours was just as good.
