Slow Cycling Through Jarales

Perhaps more so than is true for drivers, there are a great many types of cyclists. But you wouldn’t know that from looking at media/Internet. Everything from old print holdovers such as “Bicycling Magazine” (remember magazines) to the widely known but actually limitedly used Strava continue to paint pretty much only one picture of cycling… Read More Slow Cycling Through Jarales

UNM Makes the Buena Vista Notch Official

The long-beloved bouncy-paved trail between UNM’s Redondo and the notch at Central and Buena Vista is getting respectable. I have mixed feelings. Riding through it earlier today, I had to take the grassy knoll alongside because: The lo-fi bumpy trail leading to the almost killed notch (because ART) is now all grown-up and respectable.

Low-Stressing on the Edges of Town

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.

Let’s Play “Spot the Route”

Riding a bicycle through Albuquerque streets is a case of going where drivers don’t and understanding the streets are all about those drivers. Example: This is Ocala St. S.E., almost to Four Hills in the far SE part of town. Maybe you live up there, or maybe you’re from downhill (west) and you’ve heard there’s… Read More Let’s Play “Spot the Route”
