Alright, for all you off-road adventurers, and other multi-sport enthusiasts, don't forget that the XTERRA Tri the Torture, brought to you by the same folks who put on La Tierra Torture in SF, is this Saturday up at Glorieta Camps, just east of Santa Fe.
This is a very fun and adventurous event, but completely do-able by XTERRA standards. The swim is a fun loop course through the water park there, then the mountain bike is on the swoopy, fun mtb trails they have there. It even includes a couple of trips down the banked pump track. It's all a lot of fun and if you're looking for something sort of different with a great mountain bike ride, this is it. The finish is also very interesting, with a trip up the giant water slide tower, and down the actual water slide, into the finish.
Check out last year's event photos:
I highly recommend this event, as it registers very highly on the "fun meter!"
