Colorado Trail Race

Ward Baker, riding for Justin's Nut Butter, is currently on course racing the Colorado Trail Race. This is a fascinating event. It started at 6am August 1st & runs 480 miles along the Colorado Trail to Durango. There are no stages - you start & ride until you camp - then repeat. There is NO support allowed. You must carry your food & sleeping gear, but you can stop at a store along the way. Any of you who have ridden segments of the trail know much of this is highly technical & slow riding. This is one tough race!

Follow this event LIVE on the web. Each racer is carrying a Spot satellite tracker that transmits their position every 10 minutes or so.
