Moab Rocks

Moab Rocks – The Best Desert Mountain Bike Stage Race

Rocks, sand, knobby tires and iconic weather-beaten long-distant views; Moab Rocks has is all.  Racing mountain bikes in Moab is definitely Epic if you team up with the Transrockies crew for their spring fling in the desert.  This 3-day stage race averages 25-30 miles and approximately 3000′ elevation gain and loss each day offering quite a challenge.

Whether you’ve been to Moab before or not, it’s hard to beat!  Especially in the spring. There is something magical about the place, especially during an event like this.  Getting to hang out with 200 mountain bikers all chasing the same goal, to finish the course as quickly as possible each day, is pretty special.
