From the Organizer
6hr. Mtn Bike relay located in Flagstaff AZ.
The 10.5 mile loop course Begins on a fire road for roughly a mile to give the mass start time to thin out. Then hitting the famous AZT with its tight, smooth, single-track connecting to Rocky Moto. These two trails are a gradual climb sustained climb and a few roots and rocks. Eventually connecting to Moto! From the top, it slaloms down a whopping 3.5 miles descent mostly smooth and fast with one or two rock gardens. Then back to Start/Finish single-track to finish the race. The course is fast and fun, accessible by most recreational riders. And yes, you can ride it solo, as a duo or a team of 4.... Are you ready to "grin and bear it"
