Drove about 50 miles north of Santa Fe to Los Alamos to ride today. At 7K - 8K elevation, the air was thin, but he trails were beautiful. Mostly flowy singletrack with some fun (and not so fun) rock obstacles scattered throughout, almost all through Ponderosa Pine. Even though it was in the low 80s, the air was so dry and thin that it just didn't feel much more than 70. Absolutely gorgeous weather, no bugs, no humidity, beautiful trails, and the earthy smell of pine trees throughout the swoopy fun ride. Doug did his research beforehand, of course, and had a cute little brewery lined up for post-ride refreshments. It was more of a beer co-op than a brewery - local homebrewers and macrobreweries had taps. We enjoyed re-hydrating out on a deck with hand carved furniture made from local pine logs. Another beautiful road trip day in the southwest!
