My wife and I headed down to Albuquerque for Thanksgiving to visit her mom and stepdad for a few days. Luckily, I was "allowed" to bring my mountain bike and so I rode a couple of local trails to stay sane while the rest of the family went shopping. On the way home this morning, we stopped in Santa Fe for a couple hours as well. Below are pics from both.



Yesterday I did a 2-hr ride at White Mesa, a whole other world from my typical Colorado rides:





I was solo, so no action shots- only scenics:









Part of the ride looks like you were on the moon. Check out the singletrack that goes down to the point of this outcrop.





Pretty cool rock formations:





Then, on to Santa Fe. The street vendors were out in force for the first real holiday weekend:

A little, but it was mostly left over from a couple weeks ago. I think they're getting some snow (8-10") today also.
