Winter in the desert brings the FRENZY 😎 🚵‍♂️

Circle December 6 and start dialing in your desert legs…this is your invite to one of the smoothest, fastest days you’ll have on two wheels at McDowell Mountain Regional Park.

We’re talking flowy singletrack, big Sonoran views, and that unreal Arizona winter weather that begs you to keep riding long past “just one more lap.”

From quick hits to all-day epics, distances roll from 7 miles up to a full 100. And for 2026, we’ve shaken things up with new distance options across both MTB and Gravel Grinder courses, plus a more approachable, less technical route that keeps the speed high and the stoke even higher.

Race it your way: solo mission, tag-team it with a partner, or rally the crew for a relay. Oh, and that 9-hour relay on the 15-mile loop? Yeah, it’s back and it’s calling 👀

We’re also opening the start line wider than ever, with dedicated options for junior racers and adaptive athletes.

However you show up, Frenzy Hills Rides is your reason to send it this December.

Hit the link below, lock in your spot, and start plotting your desert takeover 🌵💨
