About this event

WYO-131 Gravel Grinder
September 12, 2026 |  Lander, WY

A Lander Cycling Club event | Held under USFS & BLM permits
Welcome to Gravel Paradise
Lander, Wyoming—ranked as one of the best outdoor towns in America—is known worldwide for rock climbing and mountain biking, but we’ve been keeping a secret: our gravel is next level. Nestled at the southern tip of the Wind River Range, just west of Jackson and south of the Big Horns, Lander serves up jaw-dropping backdrops, rolling high-desert terrain, and the Popo Agie River flowing right through town.
When the ride is done, explore Lander’s bustling downtown—grab a cold one at the local brewery, refuel at top-notch restaurants, or shop for gear and souvenirs.

WYO-131

131 mi · ↗ 10,000 ft · 80% gravel · $135 entry

This is 131 miles of pure, untamed adventure—a legendary test of endurance through Wyoming’s rugged backcountry. You’ll grind across vast sagebrush plateaus, weave through towering hoodoos, and roll past historic mining towns frozen in time. Then, it’s up into subalpine terrain, stacking up 10,000 feet of vert before dropping into a wicked, white-knuckle descent through the jaw-dropping Sinks Canyon State Park. This isn’t just a ride—it’s Type-2 fun at its finest. Only the toughest will finish.
