WYO-131 Gravel Grinder

September 12, 2026 | Lander, WY

A Lander Cycling Club event | Held under USFS & BLM permits

Welcome to Gravel Paradise

Lander, Wyoming—ranked as one of the best outdoor towns in America—is known worldwide for rock climbing and mountain biking, but we’ve been keeping a secret: our gravel is next level. Nestled at the southern tip of the Wind River Range, just west of Jackson and south of the Big Horns, Lander serves up jaw-dropping backdrops, rolling high-desert terrain, and the Popo Agie River flowing right through town.

PLUS: whether or not you are riding, join us for Biketoberfest - a FREE, full day celebration of all things bikes, beer, and community in Lander City Park.
