​As COVID rolls on NMES is moving forward again for 2022.  We will still follow State and CDC guidance as they change.  If you feel this is unsafe or there is too much risk, please stay home and don't show up.  We will have a suggested start time posted but it's up to each participant to Email me a GPS file, pic/screen shot, or link of your Starva data (Elapsed Time, Distance and Elevation) for the ride. This will free you up to start at any time for social distancing. 
You, and only you, are responsible for your safety. 
The NMES consists as a series of ultra-endurance mountain and CX bike rides. These rides are free and very loosely organized.

There are no fees, no prizes, but all attempts will be made to record your finish time in comparison to others (please cooperate here!).   In addition your mileage will need to be kept and reported by you as a way to make sure you followed the route as much as reasonably possible.  The goal is to finish these challenges and you set your own pace.  A start time and route is provided here and it is up to the participant to understand the route and also have full responsibility for their navigation and well-being.   These are not group rides, although some people might do these as rides with friends or even other riders they meet at the start, along the route, or even before hand through the use of the NMES Email list.

Since these rides are grassroots and will take participants to very rugged and remote places around the state of New Mexico, it should be understood that these are for experienced backcountry cyclists only.  If you question your ability to complete such an ride, it is best that you consider another option before trying one of these.  Also, maps, gps devices, water filtration units, and other back country tools are a must.  Failure to bring along any of these might very well get you into trouble.  Therefore it is up to you – and you alone – to ensure your safety!!

The goal of the NMES is to promote responsible grassroots endurance cycling in New Mexico, and to provide a competitive outlet for the state’s current endurance riders – most of whom currently go out of state to compete.  The NMES will help train current endurance riders and perhaps enhance success by New Mexicans in national events.

So if you have interest, come on out and join us, and do your part to contribute to this grassroots effort!  How can you do your part – you ask?  Well since these are all volunteer efforts – if you wish to improve upon the events or series, please step forward an do so!  It’s that simple and much better than complaining.

Look for more information to come as the rides occur, and feel freely to comment and provide constructive feedback.
