WARNING: This event is not for everyone, the route covers tight single track, steep, exposure and technical sections.
The Great Descent is the mountain bike race LA needed. For all the mountain bike junkies, are you down to descend 12,000ft of elevation?
This route will cover some of our epic mountain bike routes running 50 miles with 12,000ft of descending and 5,000ft of climbing.
This is a point to point route that starts out at the highest peak we could find that still has great single track and ends all the way back at Let's Ride Cyclery.
