Welcome to the wild west of gravel riding – right here in Cody, Wyo. Get your bike tuned up and pull your hat down tight – this ain’t your mama’s gravel bike race. Sunday, September 1st will be a wild west gravel grinder of grand proportions.
Whether you choose to ride The Good (20 Miles), The Drifter (40 Miles), The Bad (60 Miles), or The Ugly (100 Miles), you’re sure to get a hearty mouthful of our Whiskey Gravel – we leave the champagne to the city folk. From the historic highway into Yellowstone, to exclusive access on the iconic Hoodoo Ranch, to the Peaks of the McCulloughs – The Sheriff of Fistful Of Dirt brings you the very best of the west. Smooth and chunky gravel, nicely packed dirt, some single track, some rocks, and a little bit of sand thrown in for good measure are what make up The Sheriff’s Whiskey Gravel.
Once you cross the finish line, the party is on. Cool your blazing saddle with a bustlin’ post-ride shindig – the band will be hot and the beer will be cold. Enjoy Cody for a weekend full of bikes, brews, music, and attractions. Whether you ride, or just come for the fun, it’ll be a wild west weekend to remember.
