“My first time participating in Day of the Tread. My first time in the Land of Enchantment. It could not have been more memorable, the people, the event, the fun, the energy, the breathtaking backdrops of the New Mexico landscape, the very worthy and honorable cause. I’ll definitely give it a 10, a 12 if at all possible!”
—Charlie Wilson, Rockledge, Florida
Fun for all ages and abilities!

Are E-bikes allowed?
Always enjoy the Day of the Tread ride, first being in '09. Fast forward, drove 325 miles to ride with my son who is now an Albq resident. Ten minutes to start, tire flatted. Went to the service trailer located at the start and changed out a tube. Finished the tube swap and waited for an offer for air. None was offered, so took upon myself to use the air only to get a sudden rebuke. Missed the start and set the tone for the rest of the ride. Pinnacle Bike Tech, if there to help, you failed.
