No E-Bikes in the Gravel Events
E-bikes are allowed in the Tour de Big Bear road events only. E-bikes will not be allowed in the Dirty Bear or Dirty Cub gravel events due to Forest Service restrictions on use of e-bikes on single track trails.
For those of you asking about holding the gravel event on Sunday, we hear you. However, gravel event aid stations are in conjunction with the Tour de Big Bear event and at this time it’s not feasible to have the quality aid stations that we enjoy supplying on a second day.
Tires: We suggest Kenda Booster PRO as a great tire to roll up here. What ever you roll make it 40C+, tough sidewalls, low pressures and tubeless.
