History, culture, and stunning landscapes all come together for this Ends of the Earth cycling tour in New Mexico and Arizona this September. Join us for 5 days and approximately 350 miles of mountains and desert, climbs and descents.
For decades, motorists and enthusiasts have traveled legendary US Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles. The Southwest Bike Ride takes us on many miles of Bicycle Route 66 that follows and highlights some of this well-known route including bike paths, country roads, highways, and byways.
We will traverse the Turquoise Trail, a National Scenic Byway, linking Albuquerque and Santa Fe, featuring unique towns, scenic views, diverse cultures, and extensive history. Cibola National Forest offers a moderate climb from desert plains to juniper, pine, and spruce-fir forest, including impressive mountain views. Cyclists and support staff will discover the traditional lands of some two dozen federally recognized tribes that live along the Route 66 corridor, including Sky City, the oldest continuously inhabited community in America, and Window Rock, capital of the Navajo Nation Reservation (including a Century option). Cyclists and support staff will cross the Western Continental Divide on their way to and from Arizona.
Add to all of this the chance to help bring the hope of Jesus to youth in Ukraine, and this will be a tour you don’t want to miss!
