About the Route:

A few days before the 2015 Bailey HUNDO, Race Director, Austin Smart, was faced with a decision that would forever change the Bailey HUNDO. Heavy rains hit the area causing the South Platte River to swell to the point that the bridge and river crossing at the beginning of Segment 2 of the Colorado Trail were impassable. Without riders being able to access the road to Deckers, the traditional route up and over Stoney Pass would be impossible.

The decision was made to hold the race with two laps on the HUNDitO course. Riders responded to the course change with enthusiasm. Many appreciated the additional singletrack as well as the race taking place entirely within the Buffalo Creek Trail System. The only issue with this course was its length. Coming in at 83 miles with 9,500’ of climbing, the course had to evolve.

A new iteration was presented in 2016 as the course committee aimed to give riders what they desired: singletrack. Therefore, the goal was to provide a 100+ mile course that showcased even more trails within the Buffalo Creek Trail System. The course was extremely difficult and riders commented that it was one of the most challenging races of the season (107.6 miles with 13,200 feet). The demanding course was accompanied by extreme heat forcing many riders to abandon the race.

After reflecting on rider feedback from 2015 and 2016, the course committee spent 6 months at the drawing board creating a new HUNDO and HUNDito course that we believe everyone will love. HUNDO: 90 miles. Approximate Elevation Gain: 10,200 feet.

HUNDitO: 50 miles. Approximate Elevation Gain: 5,800 feet
