“My first time participating in Day of the Tread. My first time in the Land of Enchantment. It could not have been more memorable, the people, the event, the fun, the energy, the breathtaking backdrops of the New Mexico landscape, the very worthy and honorable cause. I’ll definitely give it a 10, a 12 if at all possible!”
—Charlie Wilson, Rockledge, Florida
Fun for all ages and abilities!

Spinning your wheels? Not if you’re doing it right! Warm up with a 5-minute gentle spin, followed by stretching before heading out for your training ride. Stretching keeps your muscles loose and reduces injury!

Chocolate and nuts = the perfect combo! Need a little energy boost? A small piece of dark chocolate with mixed nuts provides a good mix of healthy fats, protein, and quick energy. A delicious and efficient ride snack!
