West Albuquerque, NM to Cedar Crest, NM

Monday 23 April and Tuesday 24 April 2018

The route the last two days was
West Albuquerque to East Albuquerque and
East Albuquerque to Cedar Crest


The ride from west Albuquerque started from the Casino 66.  This picture was taken from my room on the 6th floor.  The top of the hill you can see in the distance is 5 miles away.

After leaving the hotel and crossing over I-40 there is an old Parker through truss bridge

The Rio Grande 
Monday evening I stayed with a Warmshowers.org host.

Tuesday on the way out of Albuquerque I stopped for a bagel and a cup of coffee

Then on the way out of town a couple of signs indicating I was going in the correct direction


Then there were a couple of road signs I didn't understand

The following two photos are by Devilstocksoup pictures are on Wikipedia and free to copy





You ask why did I take a picture of the rumble strip on the side of the road.
Well click on the link :  rumble strip


Then I had a long climb so no pictures.  I stayed in a small cabin in a campground just north of Cedar Crest


You will note I'm back into the altitude where there are large pines and cedars.

  1. Very nifty to have a Route 66 Cycling sign. And, the rumble strip music may make it worth a drive over there.

  2. The musical rumble strips might lead you to think that folks in NM have a lot of time on their hands.
