OCTOBER 16TH 2022

HIGH DESERT RISING | Two supported mixed surface routes starting in historic downtown Santa Fe and winding their way through New Mexico’s beautiful backcountry. We’re taking gravel back to its roots with a fun festival and non-competitive atmosphere centered around two amazing rides that cater to all skill levels from beginner to technical and challenging.  

Everyone is welcome. 

Come celebrate the spirit, friendship, and community of cycling and experience the rich culture, magic, and landscape that is Sante Fe.

Registration is now open for the 2022 HDR Epic

Two Epic Routes

The SPICY 90 is a 94 mile lollipop designed for those looking for a challenge both in terms of distance, elevation gain and technical ability with all the rewards of epic views, fast, flowy and fun trails and the reward of a cold beer at the end of a hard day.

The SAVORY 70 is a 74 mile out and back designed for those looking for a fun, party pace in the saddle while still taking in all the New Mexico landscape has to offer but wanting to leave a little time and energy to eat, drink and be merry. The SAVORY 70 can be shortened based on an individuals fitness level.
