[NMCycling] Raton DAD (Down and Dirty) Mountain Bike Race, Saturday October 14

[Amanda Wang via Bike-racers]

Hello bikers!

Some of my friends up in Raton asked me to help to get the word out about
their inaugural mountain bike race. It's a 24 mile race on pretty
challenging and hilly/steep terrain at elevations ranging between 7,000 and
8,000 feet. The race will take place in Sugarite State Park - which is on
the Colorado border. Here is their website for more information:
http://www.ratondad.com/

The race is called the Raton DAD (Down and Dirty) Mountain Bike Race
because it is the companion race to the Raton MOM (Master of the Mountain)
adventure race (trail run, kayak, road bike, and tactical shotgun). I have
participated in the MOM multiple times and can personally attest to the
wonderfulness of the volunteers, the beautifulness of the area, and the
awesomeness of the race swag.

The Raton DAD race organizers are committed to a similarly great race
experience. I believe that there may even be free camping in the park for
race participants - but you would have to check about that. Please contact
Leslie at nmbikerchica76 at gmail.com if you have any questions.

Thanks and happy riding! -Mandy
