Gallup, NM is a 2hr drive west on I-40 from Albuequerque. They put in some sweet trails there that I rode last summer. Similar to Fruita, nice singletrack. I believe you can rent a bike at the shop in Gallup.

Otherwise, check out the trail reviews on mtbr.com, and post up on the forum for that area. That's my typical process for finding the low down when I travel; people on mtbr are usually very helpful.
