Enjoy the Bearlodge only as a true Bearlodge inhabitants know it, great views, and climbs, and descents. It is mixture of the Forest Service roads of the Bearlodge and the motorized trails of the Bearlodge. Which means- YES, you can ride a E-bike. In typical Bearlodgeeee fashion be prepared for grunt of the climb right out the old Forest Service gates..but downhill almost all the way back to Sundance. Unless we go the other way..
What to expect:
3 POSSIBLE routes, this depends on logging status in the Bearlodge.
This initial year is laid back no fee, no shirt, no after ride food..but maybe some swag..It is litmus test for an event for the following year. Next year we will have time to secure the funds, and event fees. However the sag aids will be stocked with fruits, goodies, liquids-- all the fixing to fuel your legs.. We will have you sign a waiver as usual before the ride..
Any donations are appreciated cuz it coming out of someone's pocket..
But within the week prior to July 1st 2023 the course we decide will be announced and this link https://ridewithgps.com/events/209509-tour-de-beary#routes/42217871/preview
will give you the route, cues, and elevations.
From there YOU the rider will need to have acquired RIDEwithGPS on your phone/device or made arrangements to have downloaded a gpx file for that day on your device. Print the PDF for your review..
Signs will be on course to alert other users you are on the roads. But as for marking there is none. Water/Sag/Aid Stations will available and you will have them pop on your cues. There maybe at this time 2 to 3 aid stations.
