Southeast New Mexico Cycling (SENMC) routinely organizes group rides in the Hobbs area. Anyone is welcome to join in on any of our rides. SENMC broadcasts a weekly e-mail with meeting dates, locations, and times for group rides and other activities. If you’d like to receive our weekly e-mail just send an e-mail to rreid@opm35.hbs.edu and request to be placed on the distribution list. 

Area rides are designed to support the interests of a broad range of experience and skill. We support new cyclists up to very experienced cyclists. The vast majority of our rides are arranged so that varying distance options exist. Newer cyclists are supported by people with more experience. Our weekly e-mail details the length of ride options for each event, and as well specifies the level of pace anticipated. If questions exist about area group rides, just contact us by e-mail and additional information will be provided.

In addition to weekly e-mails, local group rides and other activities will be posted on this section of the website.

Current Local Group Rides

Saturday February 4, 2012:  A special ride, on a reservation basis only, is planned for this Saturday.  Participants will meet at 613 East Baja Drive at 10:30 AM. The ride will be from Hobbs to Jal (approximately 40 miles), assuming wind direction and velocity is consistent with forecast.  The pace is expected to be fast.  We have to know about any participants by 4:00 PM MST on Friday (2/3) in order to arrange return transportation.         

Sunday February 5, 2012:  Meet at the Stripes convenience store at the NE corner of Navajo and Dal Paso at 1:30 PM. This will be a 20 to 30 mile ride at a more leisurely pace, depending upon weather conditions.        

FYI - Please note that scheduled group rides will be cancelled if it the roads are wet (even if not raining at the start time).  Please keep this limitation in mind as you decide whether to join a planned ride. Also, rides will be cancelled when winds are above 12 miles per hour.

Note - We will be riding increasingly later on Saturdays as temperatures become cooler, but Sunday rides will remain in the afternoon until participating riders vote to change the time.  We don't want to interfere with church attendance. 

FYI - Saturday rides are typically longer in distance and faster in pace.  Sundays are intended to be more casual rides of 20 to 30 miles and an easier pace.
