Description
The main bikeable route is a simple 6 mile loop, best done clockwise. Look for the singletrack on the left. The dird road behind the gate is where you'll come out. There's a stiff climb through the ponerosa forest with some techy rock gardens. Then a steep, switchback drop down the northern flank of the mountain to a creek that will take back to Lake Maloya.

Review: This is a surprisingly good trail, and easily accessible from I-25 and well worth a stop if you're passing through the area with a bike. The climb is long and steep enough and at over 8K feet, will work both your lungs and your legs. There are plenty of jumbled, angular rocks that make the singletrack seem more like mid-atlantic appalachia than New Mexico. A couple dismounts will be necessary for most. The descent is fast down a series of switchbacks followed by a creekside cruise through alternating meadows and ponderosa forests. This is a great ride with plenty of variety. The scenery is also pretty impressive.
