Tour de Wyoming 2026

Circling Heart Mountain

The 2026 Tour de Wyoming gathers in Powell, Wyoming on July 11. We have a mandatory orientation meeting at 7 p.m. that evening, then we start riding the next day.

Day 1 (Sunday, July 12), 56 miles - We spend the day pedaling a large loop, exploring the Bighorn Basin, passing through several small towns and pedaling rolling terrain along the Shoshone River before returning to Powell for the night.

Day 2 (Monday, July 13), 74 miles - We start the day with a repeat of the route from Day 1 before heading to the northwest and into Montana. We tackle the long climb as the route turns due west toward Red Lodge. The final miles descend into Red Lodge, but our overnight stay is on a bench above town on the west side, at the fairgrounds.

Day 3 (Tuesday, July 14), 65 miles - We start the day with a short climb out of Red Lodge and then a nice decent on the route we climbed up on Day 2. We turn south and cross back into Wyoming and continue on to Cody where we will spend the next two nights.

Day 4 (Wednesday, July 15), 78 miles - We have an out-and-back route that goes from Cody, along the edge of Buffalo Bill State Park via the Lower Southfork Road, and then rejoining the Southfork Road that parallels the Southfork Shoshone River. Riders can turn around whenever they choose.

Day 5 (Thursday, July 16), 77 miles - We head east out of Cody with a gradual descent for about 30 miles before we turn north along a low-traffic highway, going parallel to the Sheep Mountain Uplift, to end the day in the friendly community of Lovell. We will be camped at the high school for the night.

Day 6 (Friday, July 17), 28 miles - This day we leave Lovell and take mostly county roads back across the Bighorn Basin to return to where we started in Powell.

    Welcome to the 7th annual Fistful Of Dirt - 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....

    Welcome to the 7th annual Fistful Of Dirt - 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 6th will be a wild west gravel grinder of grand proportions.

    The Sheriff still has the same distances and whether you choose to ride The Good (20 Miles), The Drifter (47 Miles), The Bad (67 Miles), or The Ugly (108 Miles), you’re sure to get a hearty mouthful of our Whiskey Gravel – we leave the champagne to the city folk. From the Peaks of the McCulloughs, to Oregon Basin and through exclusive access on the iconic Hoodoo Ranch – 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. Please note that our gravel comes in all shapes and forms - part of the fun and challenge of Fistful Of Dirt is the potential roughness and unpredictability of our terrain. Our courses are definitely designed for gravel bikes, but for the 20-Mile course, some folks may be more comfortable on a mountain bike.. E-Bikes only allowed in the 20-Mile "Good" distance.

    AND, for 2026, we're continuing the Sheriff's Purse the Fistful Of Dirt Ugly & Bad distances with separate and equal divisions for men & women. The Sheriff's Purse is our very own purse-prize structure in which everyone has a chance at winning, and you won't know 'til you finish where you stand. Scroll to the bottom for Sheriff's Purse details.

    Once you cross the finish line, the party is on for all riders! Cool your blazing saddle with a bustlin’ post-ride shindig – the music will be pumping and the beer will be cold. Enjoy Cody for a weekend full of bikes, brews, and attractions. Whether you ride, or just come for the fun, it’ll be a wild west weekend to remember.

    This year's race will be capped at 300 racers - so get in there early!

    What you get when you register:

    • An amazing race through beautiful Wyoming public lands, and some very special private land

    • Custom FFOD Schwag - TBD (check back!)

    • Free drinks and music at packet-pick up on Saturday

    • Free beer and food truck meal ticket at the finish line

    • A chance at winning a custom FFOD bolo tie for the top 3 male and female finishers in each race (first place only for E-bike division unless we get a bigger turnout)

    • A chance at winning some of the Sheriff's Purse - check out fistfulofdirt.com for more details on that

    • A dang good time

    The Sheriff's Purse - $3500 for The Ugly & The Bad - Here's how it works...

    The Sheriff will be awarding cash prizes for 1st place male & female finishers in 3 divisions for The Ugly and The Bad races. The first division will be the 1st overall male & female finishers of each of the two races. The second division will be the 1st male & female finishers that are at least 1 hour after the 1st place male & female finishers (respectively) of the first division. The third division winners will be the 1st male & female finishers at least 1 hour after the 1st male & female finishers (respectively) of the second division.

    Everyone has a chance for some cash…

    The Sheriff’s Purse not only recognizes elite riders, but also those who have the grit of the west. If you’re a front runner, you know where you stand…but if you’re not, you’ll just need to keep giving it your all to find out where you land when you cross the finish – everyone has a chance to win some of the Sheriff’s Purse – and we sure hope you’re one of them, pardner!
