WELCOME TO THE BWR ARIZONA

The Inaugural Belgian Waffle Ride Arizona is upon us and we couldn't be more excited. The pro field is as deep as any we’ever ever had and the course they will contest is as unique as any we have ever offered the Gravel World. Now comes your chance, dare we say obligation, to learn everything you need to know about the BWR AZ experience you have signed up for.

Below is a link to the BWR AZ RACE BIJBEL. In it you will find the official schedule of events, course maps and links, warnings, and more details about the courses than most will digest.Please do read it all. It will be both edifying and entertaining. And don’t forget, you will be receiving your very own BWR Cactus Comb, which you can use for proper coiffing before and after the race, and of course if you end up being attacked by a cholla out on the course. Yes, there are both chupacabras and chollas out there.

COURSE INFO:

At 122-miles in length, the BWR Arizona is shorter in length than most BWR courses, but don’t let the shortness fool ya. There is close to 9,000 feet of climbing, but it’s the ever-changing and ever-challenging terrain that will ultimately ruin the unprepared. Half the course is Unroad and the road stuff is smooth and very nice, which are not things we can say about the Unroad stuff... gravel, sand, rocks, DG or dirt, and the single-tracks, oh, the single-tracks. This is not to discount the other challenges of the course, of which there are many, including the need for tires at least 40mm in width. Please don’t say we didn’t warn you.THIS IS YOUR WARNING:When it doubt, add more rubber, more gears, more training, more grit, more waffles, more beer.
