Cross Country Rider Summary:
This is the first time I went mountainbiking in NM. This trail is really fun. If you ride all the way up which I tried and starts off near Bishops Lodge Road and Rt 72A. There are multiple stream crossings. be prepared to get wet or hike a bike. I rode through the stream as much as possible. For a midwest who had not acclimated to the altitude I made the climb but it can get to you. The ride down is super fun. Try it! Recommended Route:
I initially had a hard tim finding it because there are no signs but the nice people at Melo Velo where I rented a bike were really nice to direct me. You will need to to take Bishops Lodge Road until it ends and then a right turn at Rt 72A and follow this down until it ends and then you can park your car if you drive.

Downhiller Summary:
This trail is nice for the everyday uphill ride or the intense downhill fun. I live here in Santa Fe born and raised. I have been ridding this trail since I was 13. I am 16 now. This summer we took my little brother who is 12. Don't get me wrong, this trail is not easy but its super fun. I am not much for the up hill climbing so i only do downhill. Take a good sturdy bike with some kind of suspension or it will kill you on the way down. The weather is perfect there almost all the time durring the summer and even in the fall. I recommend this trail to any one who loves the adrenaline rush of downhill!!! (Sorry for my spelling) Recommended Route:
Start at the ski basin and go all the way down to little tesuque village market!

Cross Country Rider Summary:
Just got back from doing a cross country trip and stopped in Santa Fe, took the advice of another mtbreviewer and went to see Tom with Sun Mountain Bike Co.(www.sunmountainbikeco.com). Tom was the bomb. Fixed my damaged rear derailuer and gave me directions to multiple trails. I chose this one and it was awesome. It was late Nov. so there was a fair amount of snow, but coming from SoCal I really enjoyed the change. I climbed about 3/4 of the way up, before the snow got to thick, and then bombed it down. Total blast, tons of creek crossings. Breaking through thin layers of ice as I crossed the creek was a new and enlightening experience. Again, thanks to Tom and if you go, make sure to make a contribution to the beer fund, you won't regret it.

Weekend Warrior Summary:
Start at Chamisa trail and ride up to the top. when you get to the dirt parking lot for the XC-ski area, cross it and you will see the trail continues on. Drop down for a good descent, then climb back up to the Santa Fe Ski Area, by taking right hand turn and rio en Medio intersection. Go through cattle fence, and in 2 mintues you will be at the top.
There are some log rides and a few rick jumps on the ride down that you will not want to miss. Recommended Route:
Out and back from Chamisa Trail head. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Chamisa, Aspen Vista Road

Cross Country Rider Summary:
Still one of the best in New Mexico if ridden from end to end. Traffice if very heavy between Bear Wallow and Borrego, but once you get near the dirt road the trail is very narrow and tight singletrack. Very Technical past the dirt road, near the cross country ski area, and it is a challenge to stay on your bike in this part while riding up.
You will make over 10 creek crossings between Bishop's Lodge and Chamisa trail. Big rocks, huge trees, very tight and windy paths make it really fun. Recommended Route:
Bishop's Lodge to the Santa Fe Ski Area and back. This ride should not be shuttled to the top. The climb is veyr fun and is a definate part of this ride. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Bear Wallow, Chamisa, Borrego
