The C ride for this Thursday is cancelled as there is no leader. However, I am proposing an Ad Hoc ride on the 17th to the Taos Gorge Bridge from the top of the Rio Grande Mesa. The travel time to get there by car is about 2 hours. The best way is to go through Espanola towards Taos on Highway 68 paralleling the Rio Grande. When you get to the very small town of Pilar with the Ranger Station opposite ( rest rooms available there), turn left into the town of Pilar and follow the road (570) along the river for 6 miles. You will come to a metal bridge that crosses the River. Cross it and the road becomes dirt and climbs to the top of the mesa. At the top there is a parking area where we will start our ride to the Gorge Bridge. We are hoping to see Taranculas and beautiful scenery. There is not much traffic, the road is paved and the total mileage is 20. We will start riding at 10:00.
If you are interested in this ride, please email Judy at: j.costlow@gmail.com. to let her know you are coming. Bring a good snack and plenty of water. You will need a 4 wheel drive to get up the dirt road. If you do not have a 4 wheel, and want to come there is another all paved road, ask Judy when you contact her.
