Welkom to the Hell of the North Desert.
Belgian Waffle Ride Arizona returns as the opening round of the famed Quad-Tripel Crown of Gravel—the most ambitious multi-surface race series in the world. Location still TBA, riders will take on a savage blend of tarmac, rugged Unroad, desert singletrack, steep ramps, and saguaro-lined vistas.
Choose your punishment:
• Waffle – ~103 miles | ~7,500 ft climbing | 58% Unroad
• Wafer – ~68 miles | ~4,000 ft climbing
• Wanna – ~33 miles | ~3,500 ft climbing
With punchy 20% paved climbs and technical desert features, BWR AZ demands fitness, finesse, and a questionable relationship with suffering. Riders enjoy full support including feed zones, race timing, age-group podiums, and elite prize purse.
Finish it all with waffles, beer, and bragging rights in the heart of the Sonoran Desert. This is your chance to kick off the season—and the Quad-Tripel Crown—in unforgettable fashion.
