Additional Arrival Information
We suggest that you arrive at least one day prior to the trip start, which will enable you to adjust to the time zone and minimize the risk of missing the trip start due to flight-related delays. We recommend that you fly into the Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) or the Santa Fe Municipal Airport (SAF). SAF is a small regional airport with limited flights options, therefore guests tend to have more success flying through ABQ. For guests arriving at ABQ, we recommend the Groome Shuttle (505-474-5696) to get you to Santa Fe. Shuttles can be booked in advance and are $46 per-person, one way.
If you plan to drive your own vehicle to the trip start and need a place to park it for the week, you may park at Bishops Lodge. Self-Parking during your stay is complementary.

After meeting at the hotel you'll enjoy a fresh, delicious lunch and, after a brief orientation and safety talk, saddle up to begin the day's ride through the historic town of Santa Fe. Please come prepared to ride, dressed in your cycling clothes, and have your shoes and any riding gear easily accessible, separate from your luggage.
If you will be late for the pick-up or are going to miss it altogether, please inform your guides. You will receive an email a week before the trip start with their names and contact details. If you cannot reach them, please call your first hotel, Bishop’s Lodge (505-983-6377) and leave a message with your expected arrival time and contact details. A taxi from Albuquerque International Airport to your ride start or first hotel will take about one hour and cost around $120-165 one way.

Your Trip Need to Knows:
Santa Fe, New Mexico
There are few places in North America quite like Santa Fe. It's a town of vibrant culture, color and texture, and offers a world class experience for any traveler. Santa Fe is the oldest Capital city in the US with buildings dating back to the late 1500s and a founding date of 1610 by the Spanish. Steeped in Native American, Spanish and Mexican History, Santa Fe has a unique character of earthen Adobe architecture that forms the organic grid of its charming streets. Many would say one night is not enough in Santa Fe as there is simply so much to see and do. It is regarded as the third largest art market in the US, as well as one of the culinary meccas of North America, and is truly the cultural capital of the Southwest.
Where to Stay
Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi
An authentic pueblo experience like this is hard to find. What other hotel boasts an Anasazi restaurant based on native heritage and fresh, seasonal ingredients? What other retreat can offer interior design that includes authentic, handcrafted textiles, paintings, carvings and baskets? There's no other hotel in the world with the same cultural look and feel as this one, only steps away from the city's historic plaza, and a short drive from Canyon Road and Bandelier National Park. www.rosewoodhotels.com
Inn of the Turquoise Bear
The Inn of the Turquoise Bear brings New Mexican and Southwestern history to life. Once home to Witter Bynner, it hosted icons like O’Keeffe, Stravinsky, and Lawrence at its lively gatherings. Today, this historic adobe inn offers a peaceful escape, with 11 unique rooms featuring piñon-filled kiva fireplaces, thick adobe walls, and vibrant gardens that once inspired artistic legends. www.turquoisebear.com
Villas de Santa Fe
Villas de Santa Fe provide maximum control and convenience with the heart of the true Southwest. Accommodations are comfortable and peaceful and come complete with a two-burner stove top, toaster, refrigerator, microwave, and even a dishwasher. But once you venture outside the Villas' walls the city comes alive with the adventures of Santa Fe and and the Sangre de Cristo mountains, including hot air ballooning, river rafting, cycling, hiking and fishing in the background. www.diamondresortsandhotels.com
Where to Stay
At 7,000 feet above sea level (about 2,130 m), Santa Fe’s altitude keeps temperatures moderate. Temperatures in May and June can range from the mid 60s to the high 80s F (23-30°C) during the day in May and June and lows in the 40s or 50s F (6-10°C) in the evenings. Humidity is very low, and the sun can be intense during the middle of the day. Please come prepared for all weather conditions and include waterproof and windproof layers as well as sun protection in your riding and hiking attire.
