10 Top LONG MTB Rides in North America
Saw this last night and thought it was worth posting. Looks like some great mtb rides! original post at http://www.adventurecycling.org/landing_mtbrides.cfm
The Top Ten
Mountain Bike Tours in North America
Here, in ascending order of epic-ness, are the ten best multi-day day mountain bike extravaganzas in North America. Sure, there are other great rides, but the ones below are both time-tested and well-defined — they have clear routes, maps, etc. If you have other ideas about what should be on this list, please send your ideas to mtb@adventurecycling.org. We're always on the lookout for more big rides.
C&O TOWPATH
Running for 184 miles from Georgetown to just shy of Pittsburgh, this is a mostly flat and smooth dirt path up the Potomac River Valley. Historically interesting and scenic, it’s the perfect dirt tour for beginners. There’s great camping all along the trail.
Adventure Cycling is offering a new, supported, week-long spin along the C&O that also incorporates the Allegheny Passage, an almost-completed, 150-mile, unpaved rail-trail that connects to the end of the C&O.
Bike Washington also has a C&O Canal Biking Guide.
KATY TRAIL
At 225 miles, this is America’s longest rail-trail. Mellow mountain biking through rural Missouri along the Missouri River. A host of B&B’s and wineries along the route mean you can ride the entire Katy with a bike and credit card, and sample lots of heartland vino along the way. Some good mountain bike trails spur off the Katy as well.
The official Katy Trail website.
KETTLE VALLEY RAILWAY
360 miles of rivers, lakes, and mountains in remote British Columbia, this is probably the most epic rail-trail on earth. Forest fires burned a series of spectacular wooden trestles in 2003, but they have since been replaced. Not technically challenging, but remote and long.
Dan Langford has a great website on cycling the railway.
COLORADO HUT SYSTEMS
There are a few options here for hut-to-hut rides. The San Juan Hut System has two routes—one links Telluride to Moab, the other Durango to Moab. The jeep-road riding is not overly technical, but it is remote and often at altitudes over 10,000 feet. The huts are about 35 miles apart and are fully stocked with bedding and food. Lots of high alpine singletrack can be found near many of the huts as well. The 10th Mountain Hut System features a series of huts in the mountains near Aspen and Leadville. Lots of routes are possible.
Here is the official San Juan Hut System site; here is the 10th Mountain Huts site. A new hut system — Colorado Backcountry Biker — is based out of Fruita
KOKOPELLI TRAIL
142 miles of rollicking singletrack and jeep roads that link Grand Junction to Moab. If you ride it, you can finish on the world-class Porcupine Rim Trail into Moab. Most of the trail is on BLM lands; their Kokopelli website is here. This is also a very helpful site for Kokopelli trip planning.
Read a Kokopelli Trail story from Adventure Cyclist magazine.
WHITE RIM TRAIL
100-mile jeep road that links backcountry campsites through Canyonlands National Park near Moab, Utah. The Kodachrome scenery and easy routefinding make this one popular, so reserve your campsites early. The riding isn’t overly technical, but there are some tough climbs. Car support is possible.
Read a White Rim Trail article from Adventure Cyclist magazine.
MAH DAAH HEY TRAIL
Built with mountain biking in mind, this super-scenic, 97-mile singletrack will forever change your perception of North Dakota. Lots of badlands and fast, fun, moderately technical sections. Possibly the best four- or five-day ride in the country.
IMBA has a great Mah Daah Hey page. Dakota Cyclery is the nearest bike shop.
COLORADO TRAIL
471 miles of drunkenly scenic, high-mountain singletrack, but it’s tough (and sometimes impossible) to ride with panniers or trailers. Wilderness Area sections require road reroutes.
See the Colorado Trail homepage.
ARIZONA TRAIL
Though most of this 790-mile trail is open to bikes (Wilderness Areas and the Grand Canyon excluded), it has many obscenely technical stretches that are best left to hikers. Still, it's a outstanding route and a monster challenge. Andrea Lankford has written a great guidebook to mountain biking the trail, which highlights the best routes for mountain biking. This site is another great resource for riding the trail. You can also read an Arizona Trail story from Adventure Cyclist magazine.
GREAT DIVIDE ROUTE
The big, bad granddaddy of epic mountain bike routes. 2,490 miles of primarily jeep roads (with a dash of pavement and singletrack), it criss-crosses the Continental Divide countless times. Set aside at least two months for this behemoth; most people take 70 days. Now, with a new 221-mile Canadian extension, it’s bigger and better then ever.

Speed Training Workout
David Bishop gave us a great workout this morning. Luke Rothey was the training superstar of the day. I say that because he nearly lapped me on the circuit described below:
Warm up - 100 yard acceleration drills (start slow, speed up to 80% effort, back off) between acceleration drills we did butt kicks, high steps, and leg lifts with extensions
Circuite #1 - 400 at 1-mile pace, immediately followed (no break) by 800 at 5k pace, (no break), 1 mile at marathon pace, then 800 at 5k pace, finishing with 400 at 1-mile pace.
Circut #2 - Repeat Circuit #1
The training going forward will be Monday strength, flexibility or plyometrics and Thursday cardio of some kind. We will rotate who will be in charge of both weekly activities on a weekly basis.
AWESOME!!

No Pain No Gain on the Podium (again)
The race began with a mad dash for the kayaks. It was only 20 or 30 yards from the starting line, but it was absolute chaos!. Of course, we had our strategy and it was executed perfectly with only a few significant exceptions. As the crowd of racers left the starting line our team was scattered and I got lost in the crowd. I stood at the top of the boat ramp in a bewildered stupor wondering how I lost my team mates and where was the kayak I needed to carry down to the water. When I finally came to my senses, I couldn't help but notice some guy standing waste deep in the river. It only took me a second longer to realize that it was my own team mate. Craig had apparently noticed I was missing and decided to carry the back end of two boats down to the water. My entire team was down at the waters edge with two kayaks, one missing team mate and Jason had accidently left the boat ramp with the kayak Craig needed to ride in. I quickly scrambled down the boat ramp picked up the back end of the kayak Luke was now sitting on and shoved it into the water. I jumped into my position in the back of the boat and can only wonder how Craig was able to board the raft he waded into the water to board. In the midst of the chaos I also dropped my paddle in the river and, it appeared to be sinking fast. My arm dove beyond the elbow deep in the river to retrieve it and the race was on.
No doubt Craig was freezing cold from his river experience and it didn't help matters that the air temperature was a balmy 35 degrees. We were all cold, but none as much as Craig. Still we paddled on down the river. Luke and I were very encouraged by our paddling skills, which appeared to be several hundred times better than the miserable paddling experience from the 2009 race. For the first several miles we were in 3rd or 4th place and within about 1 minute of the leaders. We did very well, despite the fact that our kayaks were missing back supports (one of the challenges of using a race mandatory vehicle and not one of your own choosing). Still we exited the water just a few minutes behind the head of the pack.
After a very rapid transition from kayak to bikes, Team No Pain No Gain was headed off for a long ride up Long Canyon and down to Gemini Bridges. As we dismounted our bikes at the repel transition we heard the sick sound of a tire deflating. Fortunately for us, it was not one of our own bikds, so we threw on our harnesses and ran to the top of the 300 foot cliff we were all prepared to jump off. It was only a few minutes later that all four of us found ourselves at the base of an incredible redrock cliff we had just descended by rope. We soon realized we had caught the only 4 person racing team that had managed to outpace us to that point and we realized we could pass them if our running legs were strong. It was Luke who decided to lead out and he chose a fast running pace and one that was sufficient to take over the 1st place spot very rapidly, a spot we held on to all the way back to our bikes, some 6 miles away.
When we reached our bikes and loaded our repelling gear back in our backpacks, we learned that the team that was right on our heels was the same team that had a flat tire. We quickly mounted our bikes and took off. Surprisingly, so did the team with the flat tire. They had inflated the tire with CO2 and were also already back on the trail and slightly ahead of us now. Though all of our legs felt a little more like lead than muscle, we all dug deep and pushed a bit harder to overtake the leader once again. But, each time we attacked, the leaders pushed harder as well. We were soon separated by a turn in the road and as we came around the bend we could no longer see our foes. They had found a new gear and pushed further ahead. Team No Pain No Gain pushed on. The balance of the race was a wind swept furious pace of asphalt and dirt. We barreled down Long Canyon and flew up Potash Road to the finish line.
We crossed the finish line in team record time and claimed a first place spot on the podium in our division and a second place spot overall. It was exhausting and it was fun! Another incredible year... And, another podium finish!
For those of you who missed it, don't miss it again! For those of you who have not attempted an adventure race, its time you give it a try!
I would be remiss if I failed to mention that Team Stretchy Pants (Rich & Brooke Coles, Jeff Morgan, and Brandon Nelson) set a team course record and loved every minute of it. I look forward to reading your race descriptions as well... Till next time. Game ON!!

last team standing...
Die Hard? too busy - Wild Mule? too tired - Circumnavigators? - too lazy...
Glad all of you could make it for the race this year and make good on all your threats to dethrone us from the podium...When team No Pain No Gain is dropping the 300ft repel on the course this weekend I hope you're at least enjoying a tall coke, skiing on some slush, or at least watching other people do something great.

2010 Adventure Races
Adventure Nuts –
Ryan Ashworth and I have been brain storming some ideas for race venues for an adventure race next year. We have limited our search to 12 to 24 Hour races within a one day drive of SLC.
Here are the options we have come up with so far:
1. AXS Moab Moab March 27th
Awesome race. May be fun to try another venue. Hard to beat though in terms of driving distance and monster rappel.
http://www.gravityplay.com/adventureracing/moab.html
2. Grizzlyman Greenough, Montana April 17th
http://grizzlymanrace.com
there will be two separate races. With finish times estimated at 8-10 hours, The GrizzlyMan Adventure Race will be a qualifier for 2010 USARA Nationals! The Black Bear Challenge will be a slightly less intense 4-6 hour course for racers interested in an introduction to adventure racing. The Black Bear will include no paddling or water navigation. Both races are sanctioned USARA events. Racers can compete solo or as 2 person teams (non-relay).
3. AXS Buena Vista Buena Vista, CO May 8th
Jason and I tried this race a couple years ago. The whitewater was AWESOME! I don’t think there is a better race in terms of kayaking whitewater. The mtn bike trail was poorly planned, but we went their first year in that venue. Hopefully they changed the bike portion. It was a very tough race with a tear jerker of a rope challenge at the end.
http://www.gravityplay.com/adventureracing/buenavista.html
4. Desert Winds Lake Mead May 8th
http://www.desertwindsadventureseries.com/desert-winds.html
This is the 4th year this race is running. Swim, trek, paddle (no bikes)
5. The Crucible Coeur D’Alene, ID June 13th
http://www.adventuresportsweek.com/main.asp?pID=129
This race looks like it is well run and has some mojo. About a 12hour drive from SLC. This one is part of a 10-day event called Adventure Sports Week. Includes Mtn Biking, Trail Running (climbing?), ropes section, “wet obstacles”, swimming, kayaking, intellectual test, and “possible fitness or skills test. Sounds pretty fun.
6. Big Blue Lake Tahoe July 31st
http://www.bigblueadventure.com/pub/main2.asp?daEvent=24&daPageName=INTRO
Kayaking, Mountain Biking, Orienteering. Click the links at the left of the webpage after going to the link to see race details, etc…
7. 120% Testosterone Killroy, WY Sept 25th (This one is funny!)
http://www.usmultisport.com/EventDetails.aspx?EventID=2089
1 mile class 3 rapids swim, 18 mile 10% grade bike, 4 mile beach run, 100 foot tree climb
8. CheckpointTracker - Check out www.CheckpointTracker.com for other race options all over the US.
There are also several races in California, but I have not included any of them due to the driving distance and time commitment. Also, please don’t assume we have exhausted the race venue options. I would love to hear of any other ideas for other races. So do your own research and email your suggestions.
Registration dates are rapidly approaching. Please take a few minutes to check out these race options (and others) and email the group with your thoughts. Feel free to forward this email and invite others.
Would anyone be interested in a lunch event to discuss the options and decide on a race?
PS Congrats to Jason Miller on his 10 hour finish in the Arizona Ironman!
