Bikeapalooza Grand Canyon

Bikeapalooza Grand Canyon is a road cycling event that departs from Flagstaff, Arizona and finishes at the awe inspiring South Rim of the Grand Canyon. This grueling ride travels 80 miles through ponderosa pines into high desert before reaching the canyon's edge. The ride reaches elevations of nearly 9,000 feet offering alpine style climbs and quick descents. The ride follows highway 180 past Arizona's premier ski resort and leads you to the historic Bedrock Amusement Park where participants can re-fuel and enjoy a private tour of the world class facility. Most participants are shocked along the way, revealing in Arizona's views of wild life, flora and fauna found along the road. The event is staffed by an experienced support team operating an official sag van that provides adequate safety, technical support and snacks. The inaugural ride celebrated the arrival of the United States 44th President Barack Obama. True cyclists looking for an epic adventure should consider participating in Bikeapalooza Grand Canyon 2010.
