After only three years, the Grand Junction Off-Road has already become known as one of the toughest mountain bike courses on the enduro circuit and is attracting some of the top riders from around the world to compete for the $30,000 cash purse with equal payouts for the pro men and women riders. The three-day event put on by Epic Rides features as much community fun as it does professional riding and includes a 15-mile, 30-mile, and 40-mile amateur race as well as a clunker crit, beer gardens, and a ton of kick-ass music leading up to the professional races.
