2012 Rocky Mountain Endurance Race Series
- Voodoo Fire April 21 - Pueblo, CO
- Ridgeline Rampage May 5 - Castle Rock, CO
- Battle the Bear May 19 - Lakewood, CO
- Breckenridge 100 July 14 - Breckenridge, CO
- PV Cycle Derby August 5 - Elbert, CO
The Series kicks off in late April with the second annual Voodoo Fire, a rippin' long loop through the bluffs and slot canyons encircling Lake Pueblo State Park in Southern Colorado.
Racers then head to the Front Range in May for two premier circuit races. The Ridgeline Rampage is a tight, rolling 10-mile circuit through Gambel Oak and Pinyon on the mesa overlooking Castle Rock and Pikes Peak. Two weeks later is the 10th annual Battle the Bear, which includes the formerly named Front Range 60.
The fourth and most prestigious race of the Series is the epic Breckenridge 100. These races begin and end in historic downtown and include demanding loops through some of Summit County's beautiful high alpine trails. Racers looking to pickup valuable Series points can choose to race the longer ultra distance Breckenridge 100 which offers 1.5X more points than the Marathon distance race, B-68.
The series concludes in early August with the PV Cycle Derby. The scenic Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch outside Elbert is a hidden gem and again the host for a phenomenal ride through the prairie grassland and low hills of Black Forest. Here we will crown this year's Series champions!
