Join us for 2017 on October 7th.
This year, at Red Grade Trails in Sheridan for a weekend celebrating trails! Biketoberfest is a series of events celebrating trails and an effort to help fund the development and maintenance of new, public, multi-user trails at The Red Grade Trail System! A $30 donation gets you an All-Access pass to all events plus a radical Biketoberfest t-shirt! Proceeds go directly towards trail building and maintenance costs.
This Saturday, October 7th, there’s a festival on Red Grade Trails to celebrate the fresh new miles of trails that have been built by and for the community.
If you head up to the trails at 9am to do yoga, or 10am to learn cyclocross, or 11am to hike, jog, walk, bike, listen to music, or just enjoy the trails as part of this festival, you could win BIG.
Why? Because it’s not a race: everyone participant has a chance to win from the following prizes this Saturday:

What could be better than a lovely fall weekend at Red Grade Trails – together with friends and family – with a chance to win amazing prizes? You’ll also get free lunch, a festival t-shirt, free beer, and more. Oh yeah, and you’ll be showing your support for your community and the trails just by being there. It doesn’t get better than that.
Biketoberfest is our biggest annual fundraiser. Every dollar raised helps us build and maintain the trails you love!
This year, we’ve moved Biketoberfest to Red Grade Trails to highlight the 6 total miles of hiking and biking trails that will be open to the public this fall. The community is so excited for more miles on this trail system, that we’ve teamed up with local businesses and organizations to create something fun for everyone. Bring your running or hiking shoes, your favorite bike and helmet, your yoga mat, and your friends and join us for an awesome festival in the foothills!

Is it like last year, but different?
You got it. Because Red Grade Trails is a work in progress, we are trying something a little different that our traditional mountain bike racing and trail run. Our hope is to get the whole community up there on Saturday to get involved in the trails you love. The math is simple: the more money we raise, the more trails you will have to enjoy for future generations.
What’s Cyclocross?
Cross-country racing on bikes. ?? But, don’t worry! We’ll teach you (at 10am on Saturday).
Parking
You guys know that space up there is tight, so CARPOOL, please! We will have shuttles running from the snowmobile parking lot to the base parking lot.
A little (left to go) on Red Grade Trails
Red Grade Trails is a community trail system on public land at the foot of the Bighorn Mountains. The trail system winds through open meadows, canyons, saddles, and forest and offers great views of the communities below, challenging climbs and fun downhills, and a lot of peace and quiet off Red Grade road.
With the help of grants and individual donations to SCLT, we have been able to raise funding for 1.8 miles of natural-surface trail on State Land. These miles were completed in the fall of 2015. Currently, we continue to raise funds to complete an additional 4 miles of trails that cost a total of $100,000. We have $32,000 left to raise, and we can’t do this with your support!
