Gloridays
At Zia Rides, we pride ourselves our family friendly fun weekends. We might have finally outdone ourselves, as we invite you to come spend Labor Day weekend at Glorieta Camps for what will essentially be a weekend at bike camp! In addition to a full schedule of bike races, the weekend will also include live music, food trucks, games and activities for the kids hosted by our NICA NM friends, and hopefully so much more.
If you haven’t been to mountain bikesyet, the riding is phenomenal, and the trails surround a full service summer camp with a swimming lake, water slide, zip lines, a pump track, and so many other fun things to do. And in addition to camping spots, there are rooms onsite available to reserve for you and the whole team or family. So we mean it when we say that we want you to spend the weekend at bike camp.
Zia Rides will be leading action on Saturday with several endurance mountain bike events to choose from. The headline event is the 50ish mile “Blaze of Glori” that will take riders on most of the trails around Glorieta including the epic climb up Ghost Town. For those that aren’t ready to get their butts completely kicked, we are also offering the 25 mile “Path to Glori”, which will do all of the epic singletrack around Glorieta minus the Ghost Town climb. Finally, we want to offer something for everyone, so we will be doing a 6 hour race, the “Laps to Glori”, on some of the easier trails around Glorieta including an adaptive bike category on the Route 66 adaptive trail at Glorieta.
