Road Cycling in Albuquerque

Challenging elevation changes plus dramatic scenic vistas make New Mexico a haven for road cyclers. Professional cycling teams (for instance, the Navigators Insurance team, Team Lipton, and Astana Cycling) have come to Albuquerque for altitude training and national USA Cycling events have found a home in the city, while local road cyclists take advantage of the city's network of bike lanes. Albuquerque cycling clubs have scheduled rides each week; for details, check out a local bike shop or visit the New Mexico Touring Society's website at nmts.org. The City of Albuquerque Bike Map, available for download at cabq.gov/bike, details bike-friendly routes and dedicated bike paths, including the celebrated Paseo del Bosque trail.
