“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!

I sent you a message----don't forget to pick up the litter---signage and flags abandoned---that gets blown into the bosque and into the river !!! No littering !! You did the same thing last year. Leaving your stuff out for several days, means that it gets scattered by wind, people, and animals. It should be gathered as soon as the event is over !!
It’s Bone Shaker Gravel Grinder Day! Cheers to all the riders out there taking on the Bone Shaker route today. ... See MoreSee Less

Great ride today. Thank you
Day of the Tread is here - the best weekend of the year (we may be a bit biased). You've prepared for this moment, trained hard with your crew, and now it's time to celebrate on the road with your fellow Treadheads! Can't wait to see you at the finish line.

Is there anyone in the “in charge of it all” group that happened to take video or photos of the extras? For instance the National Anthem performance?
