12 Hours of Mesa Verde Endurance Mountain Bike Race

The 12 Hours of Mesa Verde is a premier cycling event organized by volunteers dedicated to improving the lives of youth in Southwest Colorado.  It began as "Ride the Lightning" in 2003, but developed into its current 12-hour endurance race in 2007 on Phil's World Bike Trail.  Since its inception in 2003, the race has donated more than $500,000 to local youth organizations and programs with a focus on at-risk youth and youth empowerment.
