City: Cortez

Do you have what it takes to complete the Roll Massif Challenge? This unique event will challenge cyclists from all regions of the country and of all abilities. Push yourself to new heights this summer by riding an accumulative 353 or 484 miles.

Why 353 or 484 miles? 353 is the total miles of all the event’s short routes combined. 484 miles is the total distance for all event’s long courses combined. You can do one event or all of them. You can ride gravel, you can pound pavement. It’s up to you. You have till Oct 31 to complete it. All results must be submitted by Nov 1 at midnight MST.

All registered riders will be entered into a drawing to receive prizes throughout the summer. If you’re feeling extra bold and complete all the rides, you will be entered into the grand prize drawings for a bicycle, racks, trainers and more.

Since this is a virtual challenge, you can ride wherever and whenever you want! You are welcomed to do it in segments, but you must submit the mileages within the 90-day window. If you can’t ride the whole Copper Triangle (79 miles) or Elephant Rock (100 miles) in one go, do it in stages.

We’ll re-share all the fun ways you guys are accomplishing the challenge through our social network as well as share our own attempts at this challenge too!
