The Two Faces of Taos Mtn.

Ride around Taos Mountain-- started with clear blue sky and ended in a hail storm!  Mark O. did the full 85 miles using two bikes - a tandem and a single. The rest of us did fewer miles (between 50 and 63). There were a couple of major climbs- one to 9820 ft.

I was moving at the blistering pace of 4 mph, then I had a flat at the top of Bobcat Pass, then I had a second flat on the downhill about 1/3 mile away.

Rain/ lightning moved in at lunch (with 35 miles to go). Some charged on. Lightning made me nervous ... so I took a lift to the top of Angel Fire Pass and biked the rest of the way.
