Some of the ride here have such cool names, like the Burro Enduro we rode the other day. This one is called Bear Mountain Mayhem and is a pretty big loop at 30.3 miles and 3091′ of climbing topping out around 7100′. The description said, “A savage backcountry exploration.” I agree. We started right in …

There are 820 miles of the Continental Divide Trail in New Mexico! We’ve already ridden several sections of it in the state and added another section from camp. We rode 25.1 miles and climbed 2581′ on a gloriously sunny and warm day. This section of the CDT between Jack’s Peak Trailhead and Hornbrook Mountain is …

The Rim Trail starts in Cloudcroft and if you have a shuttle or want a big day, it goes for 30 miles. We couldn’t ride the 30 down and 30 back up, so we settled on breaking it into two days. Our first day was 20 miles with 3159′ of climbing. The highpoint of the …
