2023 Route Information

A great route is mapped for this season! 25km/15 miles of splendid Groady. (That’s  my mashup word to describe a course that has it all, gravel, paved, dirt, and with some sections of sand)   This super scenic route has 1582 ft of climbs and descents and is as much fun as it is challenging.  Image of route above.

2023 Race update

Rancho Cacachilas has donated to our cause! Two lucky riders will have their race numbers drawn to win a day tour at the ranch. Choose from one of three guided rides complete with ranch to table lunch.  Wow! Very Cool!

First time ‘Racer’, or a bit timid about what to expect?

Be assured that you can do this!  The route will be very well marked with volunteers at turns to cheer and point the way.  At about the halfway mark, there is a staffed aid station/ checkpoint to supply hydration and any required assistance.

NPR does a story that explains Gravel Racing is for Every Body.

A day at Ranchos Cacachilas

You may have read, two riders from this year’s race will win day tours on their choice of trail.  Well, I just had the  privilege to ride the Las Minas single track.  With Diego as our guide, we learned of the Ranch’s history, natural and cultural, and their leading edge efforts to keep this special place intact for succeeding generations.  All that on our breaks from zooming along expertly crafted trails in a backdrop of this special unspoiled mountainous desert.  A few pictures can be found below.
