Experience the Mountains of Southern New Mexico on Two Wheels
Meet Eloisa Torres
Eloisa discovered biking 13 years ago as a way to connect with her son Amias, who was then a talented up-and-coming BMX racer in Las Cruces. They’ve both since transitioned to mountain biking, with Amias becoming a professional mountain biker who competes at some of the country’s top races. Eloisa is a true ambassador of all forms of biking: mountain, gravel, and road. Eloisa organizes and sponsors the Centennial High School's bike club and is a board member of Southern New Mexico Mountain Biking, a testament to her commitment in promoting and supporting the biking scene in southern New Mexico!
Visit Las Cruces
Las Cruces is the second-largest city in New Mexico and boasts a robust arts scene, various state and national parks, and an undeniably New Mexican culture that is impossible to mistake. Be sure to visit Las Cruces on your travels across the Land of Enchantment and experience all it has to offer!
Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument
Rising to an elevation of 9,000 feet above sea level and including four unique areas totaling over 500,000 acres, the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument is geologically diverse and lends to epic adventures in southern New Mexico. For those inclined to two-wheeled escapades, the Monumental Loop Trail provides 250 miles of nearly continuous bike trail, most of which is offroad.
White Sands National Park
With gypsum dunes spanning 275 square miles of desert, White Sands National Park offers some of the most breathtaking views in southern New Mexico! Experience the ever-changing landscape on foot or traverse the designated roadways on two-wheels and find the ultimate vista.
Prehistoric Trackways National Monument
Just north of Las Cruces resides a major site of fossilized footprint trackways. The trackways themselves have extremely limited viewability in order to preserve the site as much as possible, but the surrounding area includes miles of trails for hiking, biking, and off-road vehicle exploration!
