Welcome to the 2026
A few sprinkles turned into a lovely evening in Idlewild Park as we started welcoming riders to Cranbrook.
There’s an absolute gem of a gravel course waiting for you nestled between the Rocky Mountains and ponderosa pines.
The Big Foot Loop starts at 9am and the Gold Rush Loop starts at 9:30am
