Rockin' around the clock: Enchanted Forest Race delivers 24 hours of bike racing, live music and more
While there will be hardcore riders who do the 24-hour solo ride, there are options to suit the less experienced, whether it’s signing up for a relay (team size can range from five to as many as 10 for corporate entries) or doing the 12-hour version as an individual or duo. There’s also an Enchantedland ride, which utilizes an easier course and is ideal for families.
Zia Rides partners with Cottonwood Gulch Expeditions for the event, and that group usually stays up through the night running aid stations and encouraging riders through singing, cheering and music.
The course for 24 Hours in the Enchanted Forest is a 13.5 mile loop with a 700-foot elevation gain that passes through scenic meadows, aspens and ponderosa pines.
