Three, four mile laps, fast, flowy but really hot! Well organized and fun event with great prizes...old records.
This was the first day of a 6 day stage race. However, in this 40km stage a stick got caught in my spokes and broke a couple of spokes and also ripped my rear derailleur off. I tried to convert to single speed however due to the change in length due to rear suspension movement this ended up destroying my cassette. I ended up running all the ups and flats for the remaining 33km of the stage. Not a good start to a 6 day stage race.
Overall 131/143

This was a 24 hour non-stop mountain bike race. Each lap was 14.5 miles. It was a fun course with not too much climbing. There were some short steep climbs between miles 6 & 8. Near mile 7 there was a "bacon" station set up! It actually tasted really good. We did 9 laps apiece for a total of 18 laps. Very hot during the day and cold at night.

64 miles of technical trails in Gunnison CO Hartman rocks area. This is one of the more technical mountain bike races you will find. The course this year was as good as it gets. The Saturday 1/2 Growler was not so lucky with rain and mud. However, the 350 participants in the Saturday event burnished in a fast clean line so when Sunday arrived for the full Growler the course was damp and tacky. It could have been different. We got lucky with perfect conditions on course and cool overcast weather.

12 Hour Adventure Race.
This race has been an annual favorite for us as a start to the AR season. The race is fast and we generally finish 4th or 5th because of our age but the added single track running and mountain biking this year really helped and we finished 2nd out of 24 Co-Ed pairs and the 6th team over-all to cross the finish line.
NMORS Mountain Bike Race
This was the first race of the 2015 NMORS series of Cross Country mountain bike races.
Typical XTERRA in a great spot.
A tough XTERRA with a hard mountain bike and trail run, very rocky!
Run, Swim, Run and Swim again.
2 mile run, 400 meter swim, 1 mile run and 400 meter swim.
This is a great early season race. In the same class as the NM Endurance Series races this is a no entry fee, no prize, event. Just a bunch of people who like to ride long during the day and drink some beer in the evening. The 51 mile course covers a huge variety of trails in and around Sedona. While the course is long you never have the feeling that you are way out there because the course stays close to the urban/backcountry interface.
40 Mile Mountain Bike Race.
A fast Fun 40+ Mile Mountain Bike Race.

The ABQ Mix Media BFL is the second longest “mixed media” ride of the NMES. 100 or 55 miles of North Foothills and South Foothills Trails, Bosque trails, about 20 miles of dirt road on full loop, and remainder of the miles on the roads. All support is self-provided, there are plenty of commercial refuel opportunities at local convenience stores throughout the route.
