The “Tinker Classic”, named in honor of David “Tinker” Juarez, the legendary Professional Mountain Biker whose prolific winning career includes 7 National Championship titles as well as representing the U.S.A. 3 times in the Olympics. Tinker was inducted into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame in 2001 and the BMX Hall of Fame in 1993.
The Course, envisioned by Tinker, is all that you would expect in an off-road bike race. Some people call it Monster Gravel, we call it Classic! There will be Huge Climbs with plenty of room to pass, and some fast ripping descents, and a little single track to keep it interesting. You will experience all the variety in terrain that the desert can dish out – Packed surfaces, sand, loose gravel, and everything in between.
GRO Races is pleased to partner with Trailforks.com. With Trailforks you will be able to research details of the course for pre-riding and planning nutrition. UPDATE PENDING
