The Story

So here are some things that you may find useful about the race – yes, it is a bit of a circus so keep that in mind. Riders will traverse a rather scenic route by bike or by foot and enjoy the remote splendor with little support. Whether you are juggling water bottles as you skate down Heritage Trail, or you are balancing a tight-rope thin bridge on the bike route, there is something for every outdoor enthusiasts...of all ability levels.

Many riders in the area have ridden the 52-mile round trip between Heritage Pond and the Dyersville trailhead. In fact, you can start in Dubuque, ride through Durango, and end in Dyersville; it clearly connects all the D's of the Triple D along that route. The Triple D Winter Endurance Race is proudly supported and organized by the Tri-State Mountain Bike Riders (TMBR) of Dubuque, Iowa. This event is strictly a donation to the club and made possible by volunteers of the TMBR organization. This helps to further their mission to make the Tri-state area a destination for mountain biking and other outdoor recreation. It is all  made possible by building, growing, and sustaining those trails that are closer to home.

The inception of the Triple D in 2015 was lead by community organizers Lance and Traci Andrea,
