At Stetina's Paydirt, you can win yourself a massive 2oz silver ingot. These very special, and unique awards are made by hand from 99.9% pure silver. When we started Paydirt, the price of silver was merely $14 per ounce, but that has changed. The value of each of these bars has now soared past $100 apiece. They're our tip-of-the-hat to Nevada's history as the Silver State, as long as we can afford to produce them...
"Three timed segments. Two beautiful and challenging courses. And one mechanical bull! Stetina's Paydirt in Carson City, Nevada is a gravel race like no other.
In this video, Peter Stetina takes us out for a course preview so you can get a good sense of each segment, the overall landscape, and the feeling of the event, which will be held May 18, 2024. Joining the ride are friends like Levi Leipheimer, Clare Walton, Wayne Smith, and Nikki Peterson, who share their thoughts on tire width and strategy. Pete explains how the post-race time bonuses worked in 2023 for tossing tires and riding a mechanical bull."*
*Time for racing is no longer deducted in 2024, as additional prizes are now available for ANYONE to win at the festival games.
The 2026 long course has been modified to include some newer trails in Carson City's Prison Hills area as well as the return to an older approach to the Pine Nuts via Golden eagle Lane. This also brings us a new, 4th segment!
SEGMENT 1 is a brand new segment in Prison Hills.
SEGMENT 2 is the longest in distance at 18 miles, and technically demanding. We tend to see the majority of our flats on this first segment of our route.
SEGMENT 3 has been remapped to begin just after the Genoa aid station thus giving an edge to those riding on skinnier tires.
SEGMENT 4 is the grand finale -- a climb from Jacks Valley Road to HWY 50 on Clear Creek Trail: a smooth single-track ascent. You'll get blissed out, but don't let that turn into complacency or you'll wash out on a sandy turn.
We have an official medium course route this year!
Participants of the medium course will ride 9 fewer miles, eliminating the Clear Creek trail segment of our ride. But you will still ride the Indian Hills segment which is INCREDIBLY FUN! Medium course competitors will be scored on 2 segments.
