Description
Looking for company or a safe route for a bicycle ride? Join Lance Chilton on a ride from the Bernalillo County Railrunner Station to Valle de Oro (VdO) Wildlife Refuge on a bikes-only trail. There, we are greeted by a VdO volunteer who shares with us a bit about the refuge and the plant and animal life there. There is time to have water and a snack and use the restrooms before returning as a group to the starting point. The ride is approximately 11 miles round trip on mostly level, paved terrain. We highly encourage you to check your bike or have it checked before the ride. Wearing a biking helmet during the ride is required. Please bring a bike lock. Restrooms available at midpoint only. Limited enrollment.
