The Tour de Big Bear Story

Founded in 2010, the Tour de Big Bear began as a single-day gran fondo and has grown into Southern California’s largest and most celebrated cycling festival. From the very beginning we wanted to celebrate the incredible high-altitude riding, cool summer weather, and welcoming mountain spirit that makes Big Bear special.

Today the event spans three full days with road, gravel, and XC mountain bike options, a huge free expo, family rides, live music, and the famous Bikes & Brews Fest. In 2023 it was voted #1 Gran Fondo in North America by the Gran Fondo Guide.
