Its a Saturday and three of us decide to ride up to the top of the Sandia Mountains just outside (or above) Albuquerque, NM. Weather was overcast, but we didn't get rained on the whole ride. Headed out of Albuquerque on Old Highway 66 and then North on Highway 14 to we reached Highway 536(?)and then it was a run up to the crest. Joe and Roy were on cruisers and I on my Busa. Joe rides a Harley and Roy rides a Valkryie. Honest now... I tried to hang with them, but the Busa wouldn't let me. Once we were heading up the mountain the Busa took off on me and well it was GREAT!!! The road has many twisties and a bunch of switch backs. The top section before you reach the Crest has approx 4 switch backs and some major twisties. Actually, I only remember a couple of straight runs, then it was down shift and take her into a turn. After reaching the crest we came back down, once again it was impossible to stay with the cruisers and we made our way over to Madrid, NM. After lunch it was North Highway 14 to Santa Fe, NM and then I-25 back down to Albuquerque, NM for the end of the ride. It was my first time on the Crest road and I am definitely going to do it again. Here are some pics of the run.
