Test your grit against the rugged bike trails in the Land of Enchantment

Ahh, New Mexico. It's a land where rugged trails and towering peaks replace the bustle of city streets and skyscrapers. It's a mishmash of desert-mountain scenery where you find an unspooling horizon at every turn. It's a place simply where locum tenens doctors can test their grit and mountain-biking skills against a near-infinite amount of trails and roadways.

Go on, travel the world over. You'll be hard-pressed to find a place with this much downhill, uphill and flatland terrain. There's arid desert in the south; rain-soaked forests in the north; and everywhere between there are hundreds of biking opportunities for adventure-loving doctors.

Try the temperate Wagon Road Loop in the southwest, or the white-knuckled desert climb of the South Boundary Trail in the north, bike paths are available year-round for those wishing to test their limits against this shifting landscape.

Popular trails aside, if you're a cyclist looking for more "off-the-grid" opportunities, head to one of the local bike shops nearby. The people there are sure to help. Not just because they're friendly. They're also boastful about their land. Stop in for maintenance, then grab a trail map and an earful of insider advice. Take a medical job in the Land of Enchantment then come find your own adventure.
