The event encourages cyclists and supporters of all ages to take part, with safety emphasized for all riders.
Participants are asked to wear helmets, use lights, and bring a bicycle bell to ring in honor of those who can no longer ride.
The ride will begin at 7:00 PM at Tiguex Park, 1800 Mountain Rd NW, Albuquerque, NM 87104, and will follow a 5.2-mile loop route.
All are welcome to attend and participate in this annual global event, which takes place in communities around the world.
