New Tracks Available for Download

A new version of the NMBDR tracks is available labeled NMBDR-May2026

This update includes a few minor refinements and a few new updates:

SECTION 1:

  • Weed currently may not have fuel. Riders can detour to nearby Mayhill for gas (20mi round trip). A new GPS track is included in this new version.
  • If fuel is not available in Weed, it’s 215mi between Dell City and Cloudcroft so it’s important to detour to Mayhill to be safe.
  • Nearby Queen may also have fuel, but it’s unreliable at this time.

SECTION 3:

  • Section 3 is 155 mi. Riders concerned about fuel can take the optional track to San Antonio for fuel (13mi round trip).

SECTION 4:

  • The road for the previous track for ALT Harder – Corner Mtn has been improved and is now part of the main route.

SECTION 5:

  • Fuel is available but may be limited to one gas station in Reserve, and fuel is not available in Luna.
  • Riders concerned about the 166mi of Section 5 can detour into Alpine AZ for fuel (29mi round trip) which also makes another great town to stay in.

SECTION 8:

  • The ALT Harder track for Comanche Canyon has been reclassified to Expert for highly-advanced technical sections suitable for experienced riders only.
