Geo: 35.6915, -105.937It is always fun to explore Santa Fe by bicycle and be able to take in all the interesting architecture as you ride along. We do a great deal of volunteer work for WildEarth Guardians including delivering posters or flyers around the city.Laura's ankle slow healing and waiting for our "guest" bikes to be tuned up, this time we delivered posters for the Mountainfilm Tour by bus and foot. "Mountainfilm is dedicated to educating, inspiring and motivating audiences about issues that matter, cultures worth exploring, environments worth preserving, adventures worth pursuing and conversations worth sustaining."

One of the town we passed by was called Truth or Consequences – what a great name for a town! But the drive though the mountain pass took us much longer than we had planned, sometimes we had to go 10 to 15 miles per hour, so we didn’t stop at Truth or Consequences and pushed northwards instead toward Albuquerque. We parked Rudy V on Central Avenue (aka Route 66) next to a small park halfway between the downtown and the old town. We walked first toward the downtown and our first stop was a wonderful consignment gallery of over 75 local and area artists called ... read more
