Seven of us convened at the mouth of Tijeras Canyon bright and early and headed out old Route 66 toward Tijeras for a loop through the east mountains (again). The route is here. Notice that the first 23 miles is all uphill gaining over 2300 ft in elevation. Top make it even more fun there was a lovely canyon wind blowing against us this morning which made the grueling 8 mile through the canyon seem really bad. But spirits were high as we headed off into the best part of the ride - pine forests and deliciously cool air. Truly a world apart form Albuquerque.
It was a long one today - total mileage of 65 miles. Two weeks out from the big ride! One more training ride to go before
