Rides are modelled from OpenStreetMap and terrain data and are not field-checked yet. Times here are estimates at a sporty pace. Catalogue access does not mean a ride fits your ability or available time. Low traffic stress includes quiet/shared streets, not just separated paths. Check current conditions before you go. Boca Negra Canyon (8:30 to 4:30) charges a parking fee and the BioPark charges admission; the Nature Center's gates open 8 to 5, with no riding inside. Balloon Fiesta Park is ticketed and crowded in early October. Elena Gallegos Open Space opens at 7 am and closes at 7 pm from November to March and at 9 pm from April to October. Obey posted signs on the ditch banks. Summer afternoons pass 90 °F and bring storms from July to September, and Old Town sits at about 5,000 ft: carry plenty of water.
