Adaptive Cycling in Big Bear

We proudly welcome para cyclists, hand cyclists, and adaptive MTB (aMTB) riders to join the fun at Tour de Big Bear.

Inclusivity in the mountains—everyone belongs here! Adaptive athletes have the freedom to participate across all disciplines, aligned with UCI standards for fair and inclusive competition. This is a fantastic opportunity to engage with fellow cycling enthusiasts and experience the community spirit that makes this event so special.  

Explore Challenging and Scenic Routes

Road Course

The road course features spectacular lake views along with a 26.4-mile challenge with an elevation gain of 1300 feet, especially demanding in its final 2.5 miles.

Dirty Burro aMTB Course

The Dirty Burro course spans 13 to 15 miles, weaving through paved streets, dirt roads, and intricate single tracks through tall pines for a unique ride experience. The Dirty Burro is designed as a non-competitive timed ride, welcoming various aMTB off road equipment. Both gravel and aMTB rides will traverse the picturesque trails of Maple Hill, with final routes set to be revealed in June 2026.
