You don't want to race, but you still want to test yourself. No ordinary challenge will just do -- you want something that will stand out as one of the toughest rides you've done. Our single-day events combine challenging rides with superior SAG and an awesome afterparty, all in a stunning cycling destination.

DOING SOMETHING EPIC

The Phoenix Challenge takes place on the rolling -- and beautiful -- Skyline Drive. Whether you and your squad come to compete, challenge yourselves, enjoy the scenery, or all three, you’ll go home with a great sense of accomplishment and even better memories.

DOING SOMETHING GOOD

A portion of each entry fee will be donated to a local area Food Pantry to help those who are in need.

STRESS-FREE TRAVEL

One ride, two directions, and one hotel. The out-and-back format means super simple logistics before, during and after the event!

INSPIRING ATMOSPHERE

Some of the most challenging roads in the US are accessible to the organized and the brave. Don't sit at home and wonder what might have been, pin on a number, ride with and against your friends, test yourself, and enjoy one of cycling’s epic landmarks.

STEP ONE: Form a squad of four brave souls to tackle this one-day epic ride.

STEP TWO: Choose the epic option that fits your ambitions: 100-miles (10,900ft of climbing) or 150-miles (14,600ft of climbing).

STEP THREE: Join the Waitlist for an invitation. We will send you a link to register your Squad.
