Bike rides and fires, then and now. On June 26th, 2011 I planned to ride the Bandelier Loop and then up into the Jemez Mountains. There was a fire burning in the Sangre de Cristos north of Santa Fe. I ran into some folks from Santa Fe and we knocked each other out riding between the Y and Back Gate. I left the house that day looking at smoke in the Sangre de Cristos and woke up after the ride and a postride nap seeing smoke in the Jemez. Sound familiar?
I guess the good news is we now have a 150,000 acre firebreak to the West of BombTown. Sigh.I took some pics while riding the mountainbike. Here's a sample.
