By now the leaves in Taos have turned from green to yellow to brown and fallen on the ground. Fall and winter riding is good as long as you’re prepared. Bring warm weather clothing and plan on doing a little shorter rides. As the days shorten and get colder, plan on starting a little later and finishing a little sooner. For the determined cyclists, read as those who don’t ski, cold days can be some of the most scenic and rewarding. Mountain bikers can still access the high country until it gets snowed out. One local rider packs his booties and a whole change of clothes for the descent after a sweaty climb. There’s something special about the trails above 9,000 feet when it’s unearthly quite and calm as the mountain prepares to go to sleep for winter. Follow the snow level down to the gorge and enjoy the flatter terrain as the season ends. Now is the time when road rides take over as the preferred routes. Local loops provide scenery as well as fill the senses with seasonal treats, such as pinion burning in fireplaces and color changes among the foliage. Rides become less paced based and more fun specific. Coffee rides, site seeing, and visiting favorite places within the ride are more common. Contact us for details on local ride ideas and trail conditions. RIDES The Taos Cycle Club hosts group rides for all riding levels. Go to www.taoscycleclub.com for details. Check the Taos weather.
