Not a race — this is a three-day bike demo festival where the whole point is riding bikes you don't own yet. Show up, grab something off a manufacturer's rack, and go find out if it's actually as good as the reviews say.
Moab needs no hype from us. Slickrock, red sandstone, technical trail systems that'll sort out a bike's handling in about thirty seconds. If you're going to demo bikes anywhere, this is the place that'll actually tell you something.
The event runs a full October weekend with a roster of exhibiting brands on hand. Think of it less as a cycling event and more as the most fun way to do bike research you'll ever find.
