Biking

Whether your idea of biking is to ride a five or ten mile loop around town or a 100 mile route through the badlands, Borrego Springs has some of the finest winter road biking in the United States.  Roads are generally wide, traffic is low, and the scenery is always great.  Terrain is whatever you want; there are lots of gently rolling routes in the Borrego Valley and many quiet and easy routes to visit the sculptures or though the agricultural lands north of town.  For the aggressive crowd, there is world class Montezuma Grade, 3,368 feet of vertical in just ten miles.
