This is a self-supported grassroots event. No entry fee, no prizes, no aid stations. Simply you, your bike on the trail under your own power.
This is the kickoff event to the AES race calendar. The route is typically ridden in the CCW direction. There's a short neutral rollout until the turn-off from Willow Springs Rd. A 45 minute time bonus is given for those who scramble to the top of Antelope Peak (Selfie time), There's also a possible 60 minute time bonus for anyone who completes a lap on the 24HitOP course near the finish.
