The Lobo Ride is an explicit no-drop affair — the whole philosophy is keeping the group intact, and the organizers aren't shy about it: leave people behind and the ride dies. Again. This is a revival of a long-running Albuquerque tradition, and there's a real "help us keep this thing alive" energy to it that makes showing up feel like more than just a Sunday spin.
It rolls out of UNM on Sunday mornings, headed out of town — road bike territory, leaving the city behind. Time shifts with the seasons so you're never squinting into morning glare longer than necessary.
