Update: 100 Mile Mountain Bike Races for 2011
Endurance mountain biking racing has become very popular the last several years. 100 mile races are particularly popular. A 100 mile mountain bike race is also known as a dirty hundy. The terrain for the races vary a lot and also the amount of support varies from well stocked aid stations to races that are self-supported.
The Leadville 100 is the oldest and most popular and has had an entry lottery for several years. Other 100 milers have gotten popular and the 2010 Lumbejack 100 filled up in 12 hours and 16 minutes.
Although Lance Armstrong probably won’t be at them, there are plenty of other quality 100 mountain bike races besides the Leadville 100. The National Ultra Endurance Race Series (NUE) is a national series of 8 100 mile mountain bike races. In addition to 100 milers, there are plenty of 12 hour, 24 hour and longer mountain bike races.
