The Routes: Showcasing the splendor of the Land of Enchantment, the Albuquerque Century Tour de Cure offers cyclists the opportunity to experience the beauty of the Southwest in an ideal mountain surrounded setting. 
Riders of all abilities may choose their route - from a 10 mile family-fun ride to a challenging Century, all designed by experienced cyclists to offer safe and scenic rides in the natural landscape of the Land of Enchantment. All rides start and finish at the Embassy Suites Hotel & Spa, located near downtown Albuquerque.
There are great riding options for everyone:
- The 10 mile family route on flat roads and protected bike paths
- The 25 mile fitness route on mostly flat roads for a moderate ride
- The 50 mile route with some elevation for a reasonable challenge
- The 65 mile route with increased elevation for a greater challenge
- The 100 mile ride with arduous climbs for the ultimate challenge
Participants will be supported by an enthusiastic team of volunteers at rest stops every 8 - 10 miles, featuring an array of rider-friendly food and beverages, and SAG (Support and Gear) vehicles along the routes. At the Finish Line, our celebration will feature entertainment, massages, and lunch.
