ThanksLindsay

As I take the keys to the kingdom that is Zia Rides, I have to take a minute to thank Ms. Lindsay Mapes. Thanks for showing me the ropes over the past 10 months. Thanks for finding me worthy of taking on Zia Rides. And, more importantly, thanks for getting me back into mountain bike racing a few years back. Zia Rides showed me that racing can be a blast with laid back, fun, competitive-as-you-want-them-to-be-events on really great courses. I hope I can fill your shoes while building on your legacy. Good luck! - Seth

Going Legit in 2016

After an "unofficial" year in 2015, the Tommyknocker is going fully legit in 2016. With that, we are bringing you more singletrack, a better staging area, and more free pizza. As the series opener, this race is a great one to rack up Zia Rides Series points with fewer participants and only 10 hours of riding instead of 12.

Registration opens on November 1, 2015.

New Course and Venue

After 5 years at Ft. Stanton, we are moving the venue to the Village of Ruidoso and the Grindstone Lake Trail System. The move is awesome for many reasons: spectacular purpose-built MTB flow trails, Ruidoso restaurants, hotels, and services at our finger tips, and a great staging/camping area that will be out of the dust and wind. Come see why everyone raves about the Grindstone Lake trail system! 

Registration opens on November 1, 2015.

High desert goodness

This course is awesome, and the folks in Gallup are working on a great new staging area for 2016. We are also going to create a 6 hour option for this event for those that want to ride but maybe want to party just a little more. D2D is going to be back and better than ever!

Registration opens on December 1, 2015.

Bucket-list worthy

This race is the big kahuna of the Zia Rides series. And, it well worth the trip every year. Seriously, put it on the calendar and come ride epic singletrack in ponderosas and aspens of the Zuni mountains. It is also without question the best camping/staging area of any race I have ever attended. Registration opens on December 1, 2015.

Coming back in '16

We sold out in the first year of this event! And, we will again in 2016 only faster. So, put the registration date on your calendar. This is a legit mountain bike course with a great staging area in the tall pines above Albuquerque. What more do you need?

Registration opens  on March 1, 2016.
