    This is the kahuna, whatever that is. It's the one where there's not a hairy leg to be seen and smaller animals take shelter in the shade thrown by the riders' enormous quads. If you aren't already sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber and eating nothing but kombucha and rice cakes doused in whey, then you've already lost. Have fun!

    The most dangerous of all categories, the one where you could drive a car that you rented out into the middle of the desert, only to get your ass beat by a teenager.

    The festival for the rest of us! Age groups! Participation trophies! This is the ride where you really just want to be able to finish and bore your friends for the next year talking about that time you rode 100 miles of dirt in the middle of the desert. Bring non-powdered food, perhaps an adult beverage, even!

    Take a break from watching the rebooting of your entire childhood's TV oeuvre and come putz out in the desert with us! Feel the validation flowing through your legs and forming a weird, slug-like trail of validation all over the desert.

    We like to think of it as a mid-life opportunity.

    Well, this is awkward. I would say that this is the "midlife opportunity" category but, well... How about the "I've still got it" category?

    You've got nothing to prove. Seriously - you're golden. No pressure except that Tinker Juarez definitely did this in just over 6 hrs but hey, who's counting?

    You've been talking about riding this century in the fall all summer but you haven't been outside for longer than it takes to go to the 7-11 and come home since May. It's "only" 60 miles but when you said "century," you **really** meant "metric century," which is just as impressive, if you really think about it and isn't in any way you backing out of anything.

Organiser's description

Join us for Utah's most unique gravel race, the Salty Lizard 100, a roller coaster ride in the West Desert on the Utah/Nevada border if you had to push the cart and the tracks were made of gravel and sand! The Salty Lizard 100 features distances for all abilities, bigass payouts for the Women's Open and Men's Open, and a raffle for absolutely everyone. We pride ourselves on being a welcoming and inclusive ride for whoever you are and however fast you are, mostly because the people who run the race are themselves pretty slow and not very pleasant to be around, but that's neither here nor there.

Anyway.

There'll be fun, fry bread, camping, and the best atmosphere this side of Venus! We'll see you in October for a party in the desert with an assload of your best friends-in-suffering (they're like much-sweatier versions of airplane friends) at the Salty Lizard 100!

Location

352 East Airport Way, Wendover, 84083, UT, United States
