A lap-format endurance race where the goal is simple: complete as many laps as possible in either 6 or 12 hours. Solo, duo, or team — you pick your poison. The format keeps it competitive without being exclusionary; whether you're gunning for the podium or just want an excuse to ride all day with friends, there's a slot for you.
Royal Gorge Park is the setting, and yeah, Zia Rides is right that they hit the jackpot. This is honest Colorado high-desert mountain biking — dramatic canyon country just outside Cañon City, with nearly 1,100 feet of climbing packed into each ~10-mile lap. Expect to earn every bit of it.
Worth noting: this is currently Zia Rides' only Colorado event, a New Mexico-based organizer who knows how to put on a good time. The venue is called out as family friendly, so bring the crew and make a day — or a full 12 hours — of it.
