If you haven't heard about this one already, the 2nd annual Outside Bike & Brew festival is back, from May 13-17!  Last year saw 8,500 for the festival, and 72 different bike riding and beer-related events.  Expect it to be even bigger this year, with bike riding event ranging from happy-hour mountain bike rides, bike expos, bike-art contests, dirt-jumping exhibitions, a waffle ride, a chocolate ride, movies, beer-tastings, fitness and skill clinics, and lots more.  Family friendly, this event was really fun last year with lots of young people(not so common in Santa Fe), invite everybody you know!
