If you like it technical - you'll like Lower Quemazon.
Unfortunately this is an area that was hit hard by the Cerro Grande Fire - it got torched - it's like being on planet Raisa but without the trees, grass, furry animals or hot chicks. That's fine though because you won't be looking at any scenery on this ride - you'll be concerned about cleaning the next section, and then the next and then the next - 
it does not let up. The actual trail is only 3 miles but to make it in under 40 minutes is pretty tough. It starts in town and heads west toward the ski area and LA Canyon and finally intersects Pipeline road (not really a "road" anymore) - which is just an extention on the Quemazon burliness. The fire left tons of snags along the trail that continually fall across the trail - I'd be careful if heading out on a windy day. Depending on how recent it has been cleared (thank you TuffRiders www.tuffriders.losalamos.com) you might need to bust out your best Hans Rey impersonation to clear any downed trees.
