Great Ride and views
I haven't rode this exact route at 1 time, but I just came from ABQ to Taos yesterday, and then over 64 today from Taos to Farmington. Tomorrow I go from Farmington to Los Alamos, Santa fe, and back to my home in Edgewood. I relly like NM on a bike. I have traveled these roads in a car, and by far on a bike it is best. Give yourself time and stop when you see something interesting. Over 64 near El Brazos, snow was still on the ground at 10,000' and temps were a cool 48 degrees on May 9th. Snow melt had the streams and rivers raging. Nice to see the water replenish our aquafirs. I will post my ride and pics later. Highly recommend. Dress for it in layers. I left Taos at 75 degrees, 48 on the high ridge on 64, then back to 75 in Farmington. Stay gassed up even if you think you have enough. Enjoy, Renotunez
