Challenge 1: Scotch Bonnet Route
Parked on the top of Mount Chiliad you will find a Mountain Bike. Getting on this bike between the times of 07:00 and 18:00 will start The Chiliad Challenge. This is a race to the bottom of the mountain against a number of other competitors. There are three different routes which can be taken, and each additional race will be unlocked after completion of the previous. The first route is the simplest and is called the "Scotch Bonnet" route.
This route is relatively easy, it's just back and forth along the downhill roads all of the way to the bottom. Use the handbrake on the corners and try to not hit the fences as they'll slow you down or even spin you around. You can actually cut quite a lot of the corners and still grab the checkpoints, so try to work out how much you can actually cut and use that to gain places. Mash the X button when you're going straight to get max speed, and always use a combination of the hand brake and brake to slow down when you think there might be a sharp corner. As you get towards the bottom of the mountain make sure you do not go off the side, or you'll almost definitely finish in the last 3. If you want to win, you need to finish the race without crashing or falling off the mountain. If you don't win you'll need to grab a vehicle and drive back up the mountain because you're starting again.

Challenge 2: Birdseye Winder Route
Parked on the top of Mount Chiliad you will find a Mountain Bike. Getting on this bike between the times of 07:00 and 18:00 will start The Chiliad Challenge. This is a race to the bottom of the mountain against a number of other competitors. There are three different routes which can be taken, and each additional race will be unlocked after completion of the previous. The second route is slightly more difficult and is called the "Birdseye Winder" route.
The route starts the same as the previous one, however it goes off to the right after a few corners. From here it's back and forth down some winding roads which may be unfamiliar with many riders considering it's a strange route which probably isn't taken very often while heading up the mountain. You'll follow it around and through some trees before finally getting to the bottom road of the mountain which continues from the first race. You'll need to make the sharp right corner then speed down the slope to the finish. Remember that you can almost always catch up to the riders with 10 or 15 seconds of good riding. I crashed about half way and was sure I'd lost, but I kept going and over took the leader on the final straight to win the challenge.

Challenge 3: Cobra Run
Parked on the top of Mount Chiliad you will find a Mountain Bike. Getting on this bike between the times of 07:00 and 18:00 will start The Chiliad Challenge. This is a race to the bottom of the mountain against a number of other competitors. There are three different routes which can be taken, and each additional race will be unlocked after completion of the previous. The final route is by far the fastest and most dangerous and is called the "Cobra Run".
The Cobra Run is extremely difficult, however the AI is pretty stupid too, so you can expect them to crash into almost every tree. All you need to do is hold X to keep a decent speed and follow the track through the checkpoints, then once you're off the wooden ramps, just speed down the dirt path towards the final straight, and then onto the finish. You can jump over the hills on the middle section and gain a lot of time as you can grab three checkpoints in 1 jump rather than spend 15 seconds weaving down the track to get them.
Reward: Small Cash
