South Side Community Cruise

Join SFCT’s Trails Program Manager, Tim Rogers, on this FREE bicycle ride celebrating Bike Month – our first guided South Side Community Cruise in eight years.  Meet at South Side Library, 6599 Jaguar Dr., at 10 am.  If you drive please look for nearby on-street parking so we don’t fill up the library lot.

We will explore Santa Fe’s growing network of urban trails in the southwest part of town, including the newly-expanded Tierra Contenta Trail, the River Trail, and the Camino Real Trail, and how to connect them with each other on relatively “bike-friendly” roads.  The ride will include a visit to Santa Fe Safe Routes to School Program’s “Family Bike Fiesta” at El Camino Real Academy where among other goings-on, the PTA will be serving food and drink concessions.

The full ride includes approximately eight miles of riding on paved trails, roads with bike lanes, and some easy dirt trails.  Toward the end of the ride, participants can opt in to the Family Bike Fiesta at ECRA, which would mean returning by 1 pm, or they can easily close the loop earlier to return to the South Side Liibrary by noon.

Participants will need to supply their own bicycle.

Our last South Side Community Cruise was with students from The Masters Program in 2018.
