New for 2025 – This year’s Our Favorite Trails Challenge gives you two great ways to ride: Classic Quest and Modern Trek. Both challenges highlight a variety of trails and routes throughout the Treasure Valley.
The Classic Quest is similar to previous challenges. You’ll take on 16 routes and approximately 150 miles of riding across a wide range of terrain and locations.
The Modern Trek offers 8 routes and approximately 40 miles of riding, introducing you to various trail systems around the Treasure Valley.
Some routes overlap between the two, while others are unique to each challenge . No matter which one you choose, you’ll get to experience some of the best trails in the region.
You can switch between challenges at any time during the month if you decide a different format is a better fit for you. Just keep riding and having fun!
