Ship a Bike from Louisiana to New Mexico

Ship from Louisiana's flat Cajun country to New Mexico's Enchanted Circle, an 83-mile loop at 8,000 feet near Taos. From the 31-mile Tammany Trace to Santa Fe's desert MTB trails, your bike travels between Gulf Coast sea level and the high desert mountains of the Southwest.

New Mexico offers a cycling landscape that is wholly alien to Louisiana riders. The Enchanted Circle route loops through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, passing through the towns of Taos, Angel Fire, and Red River at elevations between 7,000 and 9,800 feet. Santa Fe's La Tierra Trails and Dale Ball Trails provide excellent high-desert mountain biking on buff singletrack with panoramic views of mesas and mountains. The state also hosts the Tour of the Gila stage race, one of the oldest and most prestigious multi-day road races in the country, held on the challenging roads around Silver City in the Gila National Forest. Louisiana cyclists making this transition will need to account for altitude acclimation, intense sun exposure, and the dry desert air that replaces Gulf Coast humidity.

The shipping distance from Louisiana to New Mexico is approximately 1,100 miles through Texas and across the southern plains. Each bicycle is boxed with attention to the specific demands of this route, including protection for wheel spokes, derailleur hangers, and any components vulnerable to vibration during transit. Full coverage is standard on all shipments, giving you confidence whether you are sending a road bike for the Enchanted Circle or a hardtail for Santa Fe's desert trails. Tracking updates are provided at each stage of the journey, allowing you to plan your high-altitude riding schedule around your bike's arrival.
