A loop I really enjoy is to head north on 285 out of Santa Fe then hang a right on road 503 through Cundiyo. Once I hit 76 I hang right and go to Truchas and stop for a drink. There's only one place in town to grab one so you can't miss it. Then I turn around and go through Chimayo and visit the Santuario de Chimayo, a really cool old church(you can read about it here - http://chimayo.us/Points.html#Santuario) and then it's back to Santa Fe for my personal favorite dish NM, Frito Pie!
That sounds like a great ride! I've enjoyed alot to the southern end of the state. Riding out of Edgewood on 66 to 41 and down to 60. From here you can take 60 east or west. If you go east to 285 you'll hit Vaugh (almost a ghost town)but they do have fuel and a small diner right on the southern edge of town, good food and not to bad on the price. Ft Sumner and Clovis are good rides to clear your head as well. Thanks for the info, cheers
