Santa Fe Century
There's nothing like cycling through northern New Mexico, where miles of history pass beneath your wheels. The annual Santa Fe Century draws more than 2,500 bicyclists for an unforgettably scenic 100-mile ride down the historic Turquoise Trail, across the Ortiz and San Pedro Mountains, into sleepy Galisteo and then back to Santa Fe. Riders can opt for "out and back" journeys of 25, 50 and 75 miles, too. The ride takes place on the third Sunday in May.
