Vapor Trail 125

05/29/2026

Trail goblins, rejoice! The Antero / Little Browns / Colorado Trail training loop is officially OPEN for the 2026 season!

Starting and finishing at Aid 1 of the V***r Trail, this route serves up a proper appetizer of the V***r Trail 125 course with a side of high-altitude suffering. Expect hike-a-bike, steep grinders, technical singletrack, and enough climbing to make your quads start bargaining with your soul.

But the back half? Pure downhill dessert. 🍰💨

Topping out at 13,100 ft, this loop rewards every lung-burning pedal stroke with massive views and long descents that feel like stealing gravity’s wallet.

Pack snacks. Pack grit. Pack an extra lung. 🫁🔥

The high country is waking up fast. What snow did manage to fall this winter is disappearing like the premium snacks at an aid station. We wouldn't be shocked if a majority of the course is riding by late May. 🫣

Meanwhile… your training plan is still “conceptual.” 😎

Consider this your friendly nudge (okay, shove): the V***r Trail 125 isn’t going to ride itself. Those climbs are already stretching, the descents are sharpening their teeth, and your legs… well, they’ve got some catching up to do.

Get out there. Spin, suffer, repeat. September is closer than you think. 😈

We’ll be here, watching. 👀🚵‍♂️

Finger guns at 1:47 AM because 125 miles of high alpine chaos is a perfectly reasonable way to spend a night and day. Right Gordon Wadsworth? 😄⛰️

The V***r Trail 125 doesn’t hand out finish lines… we make you earn them. Oxygen gets stingy. Legs start negotiating. The climbs stack like unpaid bills. And somewhere between the Canyon Creek HAB thin air and the long, dusty drop back toward town, you remember why you signed up for this beautiful madness in the first place. 😈

It’s not about comfort. 😵‍
It’s about grit with a grin. 😁
It’s about showing up to the dark with lights and motivation.💡

Ride steady. Laugh often. When it hurts, point at yourself and say, “You first.” 👈🔥

Hard. Uncomfortable. Tired. Hurting. Scared. These aren’t reasons to backout or quit. They’re signs you’re exactly where you need to be.

Happy New Year! 😈

The V***r Trail 125 wait list is not a parking lot, it’s a launch ramp. Eyes forward, legs ready, 2026 already humming in the background.

A quick heads-up before you jump in: joining the Wait List requires a credit card. You’re only charged if you’re moved from the Wait List to the Race List. We don’t reach out to ask if you’re ready. When a spot opens, you roll straight in as others roll out.

So if you add your name, be sure you can race and you’re good to cover the entry.
Patience now. Commitment always. The mountains are already taking notes. ⛰️🚵‍♂️
