New Tracks Available for Download

A new version of the NMBDR tracks is available labeled NMBDR-Oct2025

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

SECTION 1:

  • Weed currently has no fuel. Riders are urged to 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:

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

SECTION 5:

  • Fuel is available but may be limited to one gas station in Reserve, and fuel is no longer 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.

See attached screenshots for reference.
