SPORTS News:

The Tour of the Rio Grande Valley (TORGV) ride is Sunday, Sept. 14. 

Registration is $60, ($15 late fee after Sept. 3–$75 total) and includes the ride with maps, rest stops, sag support, TORGV T-shirt and other goodies. Riders may register online until Sept. 12. Riders are welcome to register day of event (cash and check only).

TORGV was started by the Albuquerque Wheelmen in the 1970’s and ran for more than 20 years.

At its height, TORGV attracted thousands of riders and was the premier bicycle tour in New Mexico. BCNM was proud to bring back the ride in 2011 and is continuing the event in 2014.

TORGV 2014 takes riders on scenic flat roads through the Rio Grande Valley. The longer routes pass through Isleta, Los Lunas, Belen and return to Los Ranchos.

Money raised from TORGV 2014 will fund BCNM staff and its successful bicycle education, promotion and advocacy programs.
