Roost the Ridges enduro race attracts mountain bikers to Farmington for third consecutive year
Successful event on March 30 saw racers of all ages competing in Glade Run Recreation Area
Farmington, N.M. (April 1, 2024) – Aztec Adventures hosted the third-annual Roost the Ridges enduro mountain bike race Saturday, attracting racers, fans, and families from around the Four Corners region with exceptional participation numbers from junior (under 18) racers.
The event began at Lions Wilderness Park where riders begin an 8-mile-long untimed transfer into the Glade Run Recreation Area. From there, riders completed three timed downhill segments across flowing ridgeline terrain.
“It was a fantastic day of racing held out on the course in the Farmington Glade Recreation Area,” said Neil Hannum, founder of Aztec Adventures. “We had participants from Littleton, Colo., Albuquerque, N.M., Many Farms, Ariz., and the Silver Stallion Bicycle group from Gallup, N.M. were also in attendance. Our next event will be the Galactic Grinder in Cedar Hill, N.M. It has been postponed until April 20th due to a prediction of bad weather.”
