The Rad Dirt Fest is one of Life Time's newer additions to their gravel calendar — and it leans into the "rowdy" label without apology. Three course options (110, 70, or 40 miles) mean you can calibrate your suffer level, whether you're out to test your limits or just want a solid day in the dirt with good people around you.
The Spanish Peaks are the real draw here — remote, rugged high-desert terrain that earns the word "eclectic" the organizer throws at it. This is Colorado landscape with some teeth to it, not a groomed rail trail.
