STEWART DIRTY DOUBLE Aug 2 - Sun Aug 3, 2025 A two day showdown of fast-rolling XC trails and winding carriage roads on an entirely closed race course. Eighty miles over two days with two entirely different courses showcasing what Stewart has to offer for mountain bikers and gravel riders alike. Show up for a single day of action or throwdown for both days and compete for the King or Queen of the Dirty Double! Gravel Course: The Gravel Course (Saturday, August 2nd, 9am) consists of three 13 mile loops with a majority of the course on fast service roads but enough single-track sprinkled in to keep the mountain bikers happy and in the pack. You're going to want some bite to your tires (38c or more), there are a few sections that will require technical skills if you want to send it! Ridge. Rd will be the only aid station but will be passed multiple times and will be the heart of the party. Please visit Race Website for more info.

MTB Course: (Sunday, August 3rd, 9am) consists of two 20ish mile laps with fast, flowy XC trails. There are a few small sections broken up with service roads but the course is primarily single-track. Our Dirt Crew has put in a ton of work to get these trails in tip top shape for y'all, so be sure to give them a shout out. An Aid Station is available at the midway point as you start lap two.

12, 25 and 50 mile rides in and around Yonkers. Lotsa hills!
