Camera Corner is coming to Santa Fe this September 25th, at 7 PM, at the Jean Cocteau Cinema. Tickets are $10 and are on sale now. This show will sell out as the Jean Cocteau has limited seating, so if you’re in the area or want to come to Santa Fe for the screening, buy them now, as it will sell out.

Our friends at State Bicycle Co. are giving away a State Klunker to one lucky-ticketed attendee.

Ripton will also be sponsoring a “Jort Track” race before the show at 5 PM at the La Tierra Frijoles trailhead with the Santa Fe Rattlers. Details on that to come!

The end of September is a beautiful time here in Santa Fe and we encourage anyone wanting to travel for the screening to make a weekend out of it.

John will be leading a MTB ride on Saturday, September 28th, for intermediate riders.

See you there!

We hope you’re following Lael Wilcox’s Guinness Around the World Record attempt via her podcast, “Lael Rides Around the World” and tracker. Today, Cari, Miguel, John, and a group of Santa Feans met up with Lael to welcome her to town as she embarks on the final leg of her ride. Read on for John’s quick update…

In our latest Race Metal video series, Miguel asked John what his favorite gravel route is in Santa Fe, prompting John to take Miguel along for an all-day epic. The ride starts in the Railyard District in Santa Fe and tops out at the radio towers on Tesuque Peak. Check out the video above and a short gallery below from the full Town to Towers Gravel Ride!

Trinidad, Colorado, is a gravel riding destination and outpost you ought to visit.

As a testament to the growing popularity of gravel cycling and its ability to spur rural economic development, Trinidad, Colorado, has, in a short few years, established itself as one of the state’s most exciting gravel bike destinations. Before 2020, not many cyclists considered the southern Colorado Front Range corridor as a place to ride a bike. Now, this former outpost on the Santa Fe Trail offers year-round opportunities to ride some of Colorado’s best gravel road conditions…

Our mates at Ship of Fools in Santa Fe are throwing a race called the Arroyos of Madness this weekend, 3 PM, May 5th, 2024. It’s an alleycat (checkpoint) format event and we’re throwing down some swag for it, so if you’re in town, swing through. Check out the full flier below.

The Caja Del Rio, the westernmost edge of the Santa Fe National Forest has been neglected by management over the years, resulting in an excess of illegal dumping, shooting, cattle grazing, and UHV abuse. Yet, this area is a bastian for locals looking for lower-elevation riding in the frigid winter months and maintains a rich and diverse biome. Animals use the Caja for a habitat as high-end/luxury housing has expanded and golf courses installed in a water-parched landscape.

Energy.gov is currently seeking public comments related to the destruction of habitat in favor of a power line installation from Los Alamos.

This comment period was extended as it was illegally posted during the holidays. So, if you ride bikes in the Caja, or believe the sacred home of the Cochiti Pueblo should be protected, please comment. Read more below…

Like many towns along the Rocky Mountain corridor, Santa Fe has easy access to endless singletrack that spans many mountainous ecotones. You can pedal from town at 7000′ all the way above tree line to where our bike-legal trails top out at 12,500′, on almost exclusively singletrack.

This dense network of trails is stewarded by our local organization, the Santa Fe Fat Tire Society, and over the years, they’ve been putting in work adding new, legal trails, keeping the current trails running smoothly, cutting deadfall, fixing blown corners, and adding signage in a hope to bridge the various trail users in this community…
