WYO-131
Lander, WY, USA · Lander Cycling Club
About this event
A Lander Cycling Club event held under permits from the USFS and BLM
Step back into the Wild West and immerse yourself in the high desert, historic mining towns, and breath-taking views at Wyoming’s premier gravel ride. For real cowboys and cowgirls, the 131 mile distance is one of the toughest gravel races in the U.S. with over 10,000 feet of climbing, minimal support and podium prize money!
2023 sees the addition of a new 80-mile route to suit any rider who wants to come soak in some hoodoos, rolling hills, and the sweeping views of Wyoming high desert landscape.
The 40 mile route is perfect for those who are new to gravel and want to see what all the fuss / fun is about.
The 80 mile route is a great option for those who aren’t quite ready to tackle the whole WYO131 just yet - same start as the full distance, but turns back before the misery really sets in!
The 131 mile route is the ultimate bucket-list gravel ride. This is not a ride for beginners. There will be pain and suffering. There will be cut off times. Some people will not finish. You’ll need hard-core gravel racing and endurance experience before taking on this route. There are several bail-points and there will be a SAG car.
In true Wyoming spirit (first state to let women vote), there are equal cash prizes on offer for men, women, and non-binary, $500 for first place, $250 for second place and $100 for third place (131-mile distance only).
Aid stations will be stocked with water and snacks, and toilets will be available. There will be 1 station for the 40-mile route, 3 for the 80-mile and 5 for the 131-mile.
There is on-site FREE camping available at Lander City Park all week. This is a busy location so plan accordingly.
