COURSE DESCRIPTION
Endurance mountain bike racing at its Western best. This is an endurance mountain bike event with 48-mile (two loops) and 96-mile (four loops) distance options. The course is a 24-mile loop on Coconino and Kaibab Forest Service roads. The course is not technically challenging, and is considered a "roadie" mountain bike course, meaning it is beginner friendly(ish) and fast for those with more experience. There are a few sketchy spots to keep you honest and climbs to make your lungs hurt a bit. All in all you are riding at altitude, in cooler weather, with cool people and camping out — what more can you ask for?

Elevation Info
Start Elevation: 8015 ft
Max Elevation: 8129 ft
Elevation Gain (per loop): 1391 ft
Elevation Gain (total for four loops): 5600 ft
