Cyclists gather for Big Bear’s signature mountain weekend
Road rides, gravel options, family events, and a cycling expo draw riders to Big Bear Lake for three high-altitude summer days.
Event details
Tour de Big Bear brings road cyclists, gravel riders, families, and vendors to an alpine base for a weekend of routes and celebration, with mountain roads and lake views giving the ride a strong destination identity beyond a typical group ride each summer. A cycling expo alongside the routes gives non-riding family members plenty to browse between watching cyclists pass.
Family-friendly route options alongside the more demanding road and gravel courses make this an approachable cycling weekend for households with riders of different ability levels, since everyone can choose a distance suited to their own comfort and experience.
Altitude and morning starts encourage riders to arrive early, while cabins and lake rentals make post-ride recovery genuinely appealing rather than an afterthought. Reserve a Big Bear Stay in advance, pack layers for cool mountain mornings that warm quickly, and add paddling, hiking, or village dining to extend the cycling weekend. It is a genuinely inclusive mountain cycling gathering built for mixed-ability families, with a route to match nearly any rider’s comfort level. Afternoon mountain thunderstorms are common in late summer, so pack rain layers even under a clear morning sky.
