Bosque Bike Trail

We went bike riding today on the Bosque Bike trail in Albuquerque along the Rio Grand. It's a great trail, black topped and flat. It's as good as any Rail to Trail we've rode. It's on top of a levee. It would be nice if it was closer to the river but you can see the river occasionally. There was a good bit of traffice on it, ladies pushing their children in strollers, some running along with them, some roller blading. Many people wizzing by on the their bikes. We saw a family of five, with the mother having a seat on the back of her bike for the youngest. This is New Mexico's Spring Break so I'm sure that added to the traffic. There is even a horse trail along side the bike trail. We rode three miles down the trail and back. I hope to get to ride some more of it later. The weather could not have been better, not too hot, not too cold, nice and sunny with a light breeze.

That is not the Rio Grand on the left of the picture, it's called the Albuquerque main canal.
