Desert Sports sponsors the annual Mas 'o Menos 100 mountain bike race during Presidents Day weekend each February. The event lasts 4 days, with early pro riders such as Joe Murray, David Turner, David Wien, Tinker Juarez, Greg Herbold, Jacquie Phelan, Rishi Grewal, and far too many other to list attending. Although offering a serious challenge for experienced riders, there are events for riders of all skill levels, both competitive and non-competitive. With changing land ownership and sponsorship the Desert Challenge evolved into the Mas 'o Menos 100 which culminates with the feature event : a 100 km mountain bike race through very rough country.
