The Beartooth Pass, Chief Joseph Pass, Wyoming badlands and the friendly Bearcreek hill back into Red Lodge. Fully supported, includes hotels and route support. We are partnering with Samurai Sue's for healthy "gourmet" lunches; post ride appetizers and beverages from By All Means Brew Lab. This is not a ride for beginners. View Route, permit pending.

Why is this called the A-B Challenge? You will be riding directly through the CusterGallatin Absaroka-Beartooth National Forest. The AB Wilderness is home to the highest peak in Montana, Granite Peak, features high plateaus and glacier lakes. The blustery winds can bring sunshine, sleet, snow or rain. So if the mileage and elevation is easy for you, the environment can still challenge you.

This tour will be limited to 50 cyclists.
