Riders in the Dawn ’til Dusk race make their way up a set of switchbacks on the Third Mesa trail in Gallup on Saturday, April 12. Great weather at this year’s event made the smooth-rolling singletrack course a blast and helped reinforce Gallup’s budding reputation as a noteworthy mountain biking destination, in addition to its long-standing reputation for Native American art. One of the coolest things about the race is the beautiful Native American pottery, shalakos and Kachina statues that take the place of traditional trophies and plaques.
