Sandia Crest Ride

This is a nice ride that takes you to the peak of the Sandia Crest. It's a nice ride full of curves and if you go at the right time, minimal traffic. The entire ride nets you about 5k feet of elevation gain in a little under 30 miles.

The first time I rode up, it was extremely windy and it was mid October so there was actually some snow already present in some of the shaded areas.
