UPDATE 7-27
Well, the two rainiest days we've had all summer happened to be on race weekend. Go figure. As you now know, our course does hold up when wet! We hope that despite the rain and cold and muck, you all had a good time. Nothing like hot food, and a delicious brew to help wash away the memories of how cold you were just hours before!

Results are up. Thank you so much for your support of our race...which in turn supports our Northside MTB area. We do our best to make it a fun weekend for the whole family, and we strive to make it better every year.

Come back and ride our trails for fun :)

If you haven't experienced the "madness", it's time you signed up! We have something for everyone...from the pros to the kiddos. Both events are part of the New Mexico Off-Road Series, AND we are also part of the Alison Dunlap Junior Olympic Mountain Bike Series. We've got more singletrack this year, so come join us for a bigger and better event! We will also be celebrating our 6th year!

As always, there's a pro cash payback and great prizes. All races start at the base area of Taos Ski Valley. The cross country finish line is the same as the starting line. The hill climb finishes at the top of Frazer Mountain. The cross country is an excellent mix of two-track and single track, climbing up to 11,500 feet. Keeping things a bit more interesting, no two laps are the same. The kids races will stay in the base area.

Come see if you can break the men's world record set in 2008, or the women's world record set in 2009, in our signature 5.5 mile hill climb to the top of 12,163 ft. Frazer Mountain, or just watch the craziness and party.

Both courses are open for pre-riding on Friday, July 23rd and everyday. Click here to learn more. The entire Northside area is open everyday for riding. Learn more on the Northside website.
