About the Event

Experience the breathtaking landscapes of New Mexico on Saturday, August 8, 2026, as you embark on the Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway. This unforgettable ride offers cyclists two thrilling options: an 85-mile route and a more ambitious 100 miles.
Your journey will take you through rolling hills, exhilarating climbs, fast descents, and dramatic hairpin turns. The route is bounded by some of New Mexico’s most stunning peaks, including the iconic mountain-town of Red River, the charming Village of Questa, the soulful Taos Pueblo, the four-season resort town of Angel Fire, the serene Eagle Nest summer-home community, and the state's highest mountain road in Bobcat Pass. Each turn reveals a new vista, ensuring that every mile is a masterpiece.
Whether you choose to tackle the 85 or 100 miles, your adventure awaits on this enchanting byway where natural beauty meets cycling passion. The event promises an immersive experience with ample opportunities for breathtaking views and thrilling descents.
Participants will enjoy comprehensive support at well-stocked aid stations offering healthy and energizing refreshments along their route. After crossing the finish line, gather at the post-ride celebration to savor a hearty lunch, explore local merchandise, and partake in lively entertainment under the open sky.
Registration includes a commemorative jersey or t-shirt designed by Primal, with sizing options available through an online chart for your convenience. Should you find that your size is incorrect upon arrival, exchanges are possible at our merchandise booth; however, due to limited inventory, we cannot guarantee availability of all sizes.
For cycling enthusiasts and families alike, the Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway offers a unique opportunity: children 16 years and younger can join in for free. This event stands as a testament to true cycling spirit, ensuring that it will proceed rain or shine—no refunds are provided due to weather conditions.
Join us on this magical journey through one of America’s most beautiful regions; the Enchanted Circle promises an experience you won’t soon forget.
