Sign up for the torture you love at La Tierra Torture!
The skinny on Santa Fe’s funnest fat-tire event: The fifth annual La Tierra Torture delivers two days of mountain bike racing action on smokin’-fast singletrack. The 2010 edition again features the lung-busting short-track event on Saturday, May 1, in addition to the popular cross-country race on Sunday, May 2, for a completely torturous weekend. Come see what all the excitement is about! In the past four years, La Tierra Torture has raised more than $17,500 for local charities including the Santa Fe Conservation Trust.
New for 2010: Enter a raffle to win a fully custom steel bicycle frame (choose mountain, road or commuter) from O’Leary Built Bicycles, a $1,000 value. Tickets are $10 each; only 100 tickets will be sold. Proceeds benefit the non-profits supported by La Tierra Torture. Raffle tickets can be purchased through the registration link below. Location: La Tierra Trails in the City of Santa Fe's Northwest Quadrant. It’s close to town and has easy access from the Route 599 Bypass via Camino de los Montoyas. See our area map / venue location. Short Track (NMORS #4): Approximately two-mile laps, as adrenaline-inducing as a criterium — and as spectator-friendly as roller derby! If you've never tried STXC, this is your chance to give it a whirl. It’s a perfect warm-up for Sunday’s cross-country race. Race durations are 20 minutes for Cat 3, 25 minutes for Cat 2 and 30 minutes for Pro/Cat 1. Cross-Country (NMORS #5): Approximately nine-mile lap(s) on a mix of rolling, technical, rocky, fast and fun singletrack and double track — and a giant roller coaster of an arroyo crossing! Tire sealant recommended. Cat 3 will do one lap, Cat 2 and Single Speed will do two laps and Pro/Cat 1 will do three laps. Start Times: First race at noon on Saturday (short track) and 9 a.m. Sunday (cross country). Visitor Info: The venue is just northwest of downtown Santa Fe, so you’ll be only a few minutes away from amenities when out at the course. Food, lodging, bike shops and camping are all nearby. Get more visitor information from the Santa Fe Convention and Visitors Bureau.
