Full Tilt Mountain Bike Races
This beautiful high mountain venue is the perfect place to watch or ride with some of the best bikers in the country. Based in Mountain Village at the base of Telluride Ski Area, the race is held on courses built for the 2002 World Cup.
The Full Tilt races include many different bike events. The cross country is a 6 mile race that climbs to 10,260 feet in elevation. It is a rugged all mountain course with technical uphill and downhill sections. The downhill is a one mile race built around pure speed. Access is provided by a free gondola.
The super-d is a combination of road and single track riding. The hill climb is a serious test of strength and endurance as Telluride has no shortage of challenging climbing terrain. There is also a free kids race in which each participant receives a t-shirt and medal. There are cash prizes and many ability classes so all levels are welcome to race. And don't forget about the parties held Friday and Saturday nights.
