[NMCycling] Looking for a 6,800' Climb

[Stephen Newhall]

Pacheco canyon to aspen vista is 5000ft. If you started at the Rio
Grande between Pojoaque and los alamos you would be close to 6800 feet. But
the top usually is not snow free until Memorial Day. On my birthday 20
years ago, I did the road climb, then came down swapped bikes and did the
gravel climb.
