According to Trackleaders, there are a whopping 14 singlespeeders this year, including Jefe Branham, who set a new singlespeed record on the Arizona Trail Race last year. Alexandera Houchin is also back for 2023 after taking first place and setting a new record in the women’s category at last year’s event. There are some strong riders in this year’s grand depart, including Lael Wilcox Katya Rakhmatulina, who finished in second place in the 2023 Tour Divide women’s category as well as Miron Golfman, who won the 2023 Iditarod Trail Invitational. Just a week ago, Timon Fish finished the Colorado Trail northbound route with an incredible time of just 3 days, 16 hours, and 13 minutes, setting a new fastest known time. The Colorado Trail is no joke, and anything can happen. One minute riders will be smelling flowers in beautiful meadows and the next they’ll be dodging hail and lightning strikes. Approximately 300+ miles of the route are on singletrack at elevations ranging from 5,500 feet to a hypoxic 13,200 feet. There are more than 70 riders registered for the roughly 530-mile ride from Durango to Denver, and it’s always a dynamic event to follow. Following last week’s Rigs of the 2023 Silk Road Mountain Race, we’re back with the Rigs of the 2023 Colorado Trail Race.
