6000 Feet over 85 miles…. Enchanted Circle coming August 2025
6000 Feet over 85 miles…. Enchanted Circle coming August 2025 I'm excited to announce that after the flat Tarwheel ride in North Carolina (8 weeks and counting), with only 500 feet of climbing, I will be taking on a challenging ride in New Mexico this August. This ride features 6,000 feet of elevation gain, twelve times more than the Tarwheel course. Why did I choose such a demanding event to end the summer? I'm eager to push my limits and experience the contrast. Then again, I might just be a little crazy or a lot, depending on your definition. This August, I am heading to Red River, New Mexico, for the most challenging ride of my life at the Enchanted Circle Ride. At one point on this ride, you are climbing 2,000 feet over 17 miles. My previous best was 2,000 feet over 50 miles with varied terrain. It's daunting, but I'm excited to prepare my mind, body, and soul for this challenge. I am making numerous adjustments in preparation for this goal...
