The Big Lonely
October 6, 2028 - October 8, 2028
The Big Lonely is a 350+ mile Northwest Competitive Adventure unsupported bikepacking event that starts and ends in beautiful beer & bike paradise: Bend, Oregon. Grand Depart-style event: Ride as fast as you can or as slow as you want, and rely only on yourself and your gear.
The route is a mix of 30% singletrack, 50% gravel/doubletrack, and 20% paved, and scenic bikeway with resupply in the unique cities of Sisters, Madras, and Prineville. Climb the iconic Mrazek trail in the Skyline Forest, ride along the Metolius and Crooked Rivers, summit the relentless Ochoco mountains, and cross the high desert on a 30-mile ribbon of smooth singletrack.
