What's Happening?
Rail Trail Fest is a fun ride followed by challenging events and cool contests in Lamy. Entry is $20 for those taking the Santa Fe Southern Railway train back to Santa Fe and $10 without the train ride ($25/$15 day of the event). There are a few seats left! All proceeds go the restoration of the historic Our Lady of Light community building in Lamy.

Start:
Rider check-in is from 8-9AM at the Santa Fe National Forest/BLM parking lot located at 1474 Rodeo Road in Santa Fe. Riders choosing to take the train from Lamy back to Santa Fe will receive a train ticket in their ride kit at check-in.

The Trail:
The ride is approximately 15 miles of gently rolling dirt trail paralleling the Santa Fe spur rail line. Be prepared to encounter rocks, roots and sandy arroyos along the way. BTI and Santa Fe Mountain Sports will have an aid station at the mid-point with fluids and snacks. The last mile or so into Lamy is on pavement. Total elevation drop going out to Lamy is 532 feet. Alchemy Cycle Works and Ace Mountain Bikes will follow the ride, offering repairs.

In Lamy:
Events will be held from 10:00AM-12:30PM. The Lamy Railroad and History Museum will be open in the old Legal Tender Saloon and Santa Fe Brewing Company will host a cash beer garden in the park next to the train station. Food will be served available from Lamy Station Cafe. Don't forget, the train leaves at 1PM (there is room for bikes and drinks will be available on the train). Mellow Velo will have their shuttle van in Lamy to take riders/bikes back to the parking lot in Santa Fe after 1PM (gas money/tips welcome).

Bring a helmet and gloves, a large water bottle or waterpack, snacks, spare tubes (Slime tubes are recommended) & patch kit, pump, tire levers, basic tools, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat.
