New Year’s Day. Ride to the hills, 15 miles uphill. Hike, run, bike. Back to Old Town by 4PM for work. Another 15 or so, downhill. New Years’s Day in Albuquerque.








Lael needs to run, only twenty minutes to spare. No running shoes, no running clothes.

Drop bars, touring tires, trails.






Running shoes? Running clothes? Any bike, anywhere. Any shoe, anywhere.

Down hill. Hometown. Albuquerque.

did she make it?
To work? Yes, but a few minutes late. Twenty minutes to run, 45 minutes to ride downhill…a little hopeful.
Great stuff!
How are you finding Albuquerque as far as quality of living? Biking?
Tim, We both love Albuquerque! We first passed through town last fall on bikes and immediately appreciated the cycling facilities, the climate, and friendly people. I especially appreciate a city with a low barrier to entry– it is relatively cheap and friendly with lots of opportunities. The biking life in ABQ is great.
Thanks for the reply. Agreed on the low barrier to entry. I’ve recently relocated to Austin and love the bike-ability here as well as the plethora of jobs. Not as cheap here though, still not bad as I’ve lived in only the DC area as well as western mountain ski towns. Glad it’s working for you two.
