Tour de Big Bear is starting Saturday, August 1, 2025. It features mountain bike rides with four different length routes; 25, 50, 70 and 100 miles. Activities start in Big Bear Village near the lake.

Tour de Big Bear lets you enjoy a spectacular mountain ride in the fresh mountain air and escape the heat of the summer! Signage and law enforcement will be posted at all major intersections, and aid stations for hydration and refueling will be found along the way. 70 and 100 mile riders automatically get entered into the “King/Queen of the Mountain” with a 7 mile climb to the top of Onyx Summit for cash and prizes.
