Double Eagle Half Century
The ride heads south on the Paseo del Bosque Trail for a short distance and then west along the Paseo del Norte trail to Coors Blvd. From there, we work our way through Taylor Ranch and Paradise Hills on trails and side streets to reach the Paseo del Norte again, continuing west out to Double Eagle Airport. After a short break at the Airport, we head south on Paseo del Volcan and then east and down the hill on Dennis Chavez Blvd. After crossing Coors, the road becomes Rio Bravo. At Isleta, we turn north to take an interesting route on side streets west of the river, including a stop at the “pot plant”. Joining the Paseo del Bosque Trail at Bridge Blvd, we continue north, with a detour to Old Town on Mountain Road for a food stop at Rolling in Dough Café. After the break, we return to the Paseo del Bosque Trail for 8 more miles back to the starting point. |
