We can’t wait to see you at the 2024 Jurassic Classic Mountain Bike Festival!

Celebrating the Joy of Mountain Biking!

For the past two decades, the Lander Cycling Club, has been advocating, building and maintaining mountain bike trails in Lander, Wyoming located at the base of the Wind River Mountain Range. The terrain is diverse, the views are breathtaking and the trails speak for themselves. The club’s mission is “Sharing the Joy of Cycling with the Community” and at this festival, that’s exactly what they aim to do. Grab a group ride, hop on a shuttle, enjoy a clinic, all led by LOCALS. We’ve got LOCAL food, LOCAL brews, LOCAL art and some LOCAL LEGENDS who built these trails by hand who can show you the best way to ride their favorites. We’re a close community and WE LOVE BIKES.
