Albuquerque Biking

While in Albuquerque I decided to take my first bike ride; carrying my stump jumper in the truck bed. The KOA where I'm staying is on Central Ave which is Old Route 66; about 1/2 mile east on 66 connects to Tramway Blvd which has an awesome two lane (with center stripe) paved bike path detached from the road. I road along the path to Simms Park Rd. which is the entrance to Albuquerque Open Space and the Pinon Trail I hiked last Friday. Roundtrip about 15 miles on a sunny 65 degree day!
While it may not look organized it is a lot better than when I started this trip. The bike is fastened by bungee cords to tie downs (I installed prior to my trip) in the bed. In addition to the bike, the truck bed is now down to a generator, ramps (for the generator), air compressor, chair, small ladder, collapsable water tanks, come along, and various tools.

At the Albuquerque Open Space and Pinon Trail trailhead - my turn around spot.
