Endurance Races

As the 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo gets closer, more and more of us are shoring up our plans for all the endurance races we would like to do this year. In an effort to help this undertaking, I have created a spreadsheet of mountain biking endurance events in New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Arizona (and a few in Texas if you like that sort of thing).  I have copied and pasted it below, but it looks better in xls format. The first half of the list are the races in the region that are promoted and supported while the lower part is the grassroots section. I have organized the list by date because most of us are looking at our calendars first. I didn't include any links or exact dates so that the list would remain accurate for longer, and making changes will be easier for me. I intentionally left out some races that seem more like dirt road-bike races, but please feel free to inform me of any mountain bike races that I'm missing since it was hard to find everything. Enjoy.
