BIGHORN ROAD
SEPTEMBER 12, 2026
“As an ex-Coloradan, this is one of the most beautiful rides that I’ve ever done!”
– Bobby Julich (Former Pro Cyclist, Olympic Medalist)
“More wildlife than cars.”
Bighorn Road takes the best elements of a classic Colorado fondo and adds a little Bighorn adventure.
Choose from 80, 58, or 31 miles—all featuring quiet roads, big Colorado views, fully stocked aid stations, and one seriously good day on the bike.
STONE SHEEP — 80 MILES
The full Bighorn Road experience. 80 miles and approximately 5,000 feet of climbing along the Eagle and Colorado Rivers, including approximately 20 miles of road-bike-friendly hard-packed dirt on Colorado River Road. Three timed STRAVA Segments - with cash payout for top three men and women.
Big miles. Big views. A proper day on the bike.
FANNIN SHEEP — 58 MILES
The sweet spot between our longest and shortest routes. 58 miles with approximately 10 miles of road-bike-friendly hard-packed dirt, delivering plenty of Bighorn character without committing to the full 80.
DALL SHEEP — 31 MILES
Shorter on miles. Not on views. This 100% paved, 31-mile out-and-back features rolling terrain, a few punchy climbs, and some excellent twisting Colorado roads.
E-bike categories are available for the 58- and 31-mile routes.
MADE POSSIBLE BY GYPSUM
A huge thank you to the Town of Gypsum for helping us bring Bighorn Road to life. Their support helps make these unique routes possible and allows us to offer onsite camping with showers and bathrooms for race weekend.
80. 58. 31. Choose your challenge. We’ll handle the rest.
