The Second Annual Belgian Waffle Ride Arizona is the kick-off to the largest gravel series in the world, the Tripel Crown of Gravel, is the newest manifestation of this formula. This year there are only 1,000 spots available, most all of which I spoken for now.
It’ll be a unique desert and mountain experience, known as the Hell of the North Desert, little sister to the legendary BWR California!
The BWR AZ, which takes place in Cave Creek on the fringes of the Valley of the Sun, embodies the three ingredients that make the BWR so special; a dream destination, varied terrain to accommodate an extremely dynamic racecourse, and a cycling community that is both vibrant and desirous of the Unroad experience only the BWR can offer.
Located in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, on the fringes of North Scottsdale, the BWR AZ will start and finish at Stagecoach Village in Cave Creek and take in a seamless connection of beautiful desert and varied challenging terrain with breath-taking views and near-perfect riding conditions.
The area enjoys over 300 days of sunshine and incredible scenery, with conditions that are perfect for exhilarating Unroad riding, including crushing climbs to beautiful views of the surrounding desert. The destination is a picture-perfect town in the desert foothills that brings together history, culture, and nature in a unique atmosphere. The downtown area has plenty to offer the entire family, and the city is surrounded by many other destinations that you don’t want to miss out on.
