They finally reopened the dirt road going through the Gilman Tunnels up in the Jemez mountains after a large rock management safety project. I've been waiting for this, as I've been wanting to ride it since I found it on a map, around the time it was closed. I didn't get a picture of the very picturesque tunnels as I was enjoying the pleasant dirt road climb so much, but here is what the terrain in the canyon above looks like. We rounded out the ride by climbing all the way up to where the dirt road ends on 126 and then around to 4 for a long descent to end the 40-ish mile loop. It was a lovely day, despite maybe not quite being in shape for that long a ride...
