Old Faithful Cycle Tour

Don't know how I'd missed this in the past, but if the weather is favorable I think I may make the drive up to enjoy an organized ride through the park:

Date for 2017 ride:  Saturday, October 7

Registration will open on June 15 at 9am Mountain Time.  

The West Yellowstone Old Faithful Cycle Tour is a terrific way to wind down a summer of riding and a unique way to experience Yellowstone National Park.  Fall is a gorgeous time to be in Yellowstone, the elk are bugling, the aspens have turned to gold, and the thermal areas are relatively free of crowds. The supported ride is sixty miles round trip, with options available for one way travel. Cyclists in the tour can take advantage of two feed stations, three sag wagons, on-course bike mechanics, and end the day with a group meal.  The tour is limited by the National Park Service to the first 350 riders that complete the online registration. ALL REGISTRATIONS ARE INDIVIDUAL REGISTRATIONS.  NO TEAM REGISTRATIONS ACCEPTED.

National Park Passes ARE required for the ride.  Check out the National Park Service's website for more information about the different passes and how many riders are allowed in on each type.

Again this year, proceeds from the ride will be donated to the Yellowstone Park Foundation, the Reid Sanders Memorial Fund, and other local non-profits such as Community Health Partners Medical Clinics and the West Yellowstone Educators Fund.  $1,500 was donated on behalf of riders in the 2016 Cycle Tour.

Families, small groups, and recreational riders are encouraged to participate.  Check out the West Yellowstone Chamber's Specials Page  or www.yellowstonedestination.com for lodging and activity discounts.  If you are traveling by air, check out the West Yellowstone Airport.  Come enjoy the finest season that Yellowstone Park has to offer and ride in the West Yellowstone Old Faitfhul Cycle Tour.
