Our first annual “Gravel Gals” group ride is a GO for July 21-22nd, 2023!
This is a ride for the ladies shredders only. The route is a 62 mile selection of gravel roads that highlight the prettiest spots in Teton Valley. Registration is 100% free. Since this ride is self-supported, you will be responsible for bringing necessary nutrition and equipment. You will explore swimming holes, grind some gravel, meet like-minded cyclists, and if you’re lucky, maybe you’ll meet Barry the porcupine, guardian of the Teton River.
The evening of July 21st will include early-bird check-in at the Victor Fitzgerald’s location, as well as in-store discounts, drinks, and an optional group camp-out. July 22nd is ride day! The ride will start and end at the Victor shop with food, drinks, and a free raffle with sweet prizes from our sponsors afterward.
Come spend the weekend with other inspiring and powerful female cyclists and get to know the Teton Valley gravel scene! Please sign up and follow the link below for more ride details.
Save the date. Ride the Angry Horse 2023 will happen on Saturday June 3rd.
As usual there will be an 85mile Stud Run and 45mile Chestnut Mare. However, for 2023, we will also be offering a 15mile fun loop.
The Stud Run is 85 miles of EPIC, climbing 8200 vertical feet. Rolling out on the only 8 miles of pavement you'll encounter, then dropping into the infamous Kepps Crossing. The route then meanders into the Tex Creek Wildlife Refuge, then climbing and descending through Dan Creek and Horse Creek. This route contains challenging double-track roads and intersections. An accurate GPX file with cue prompts is essential.
The Chestnut Mare is a 45-mile route that packs in 4200 vertical feet and features two ripping descents, and some awesome climbs as well. The route follows much of the same beginning as the Stud Run — passing through Kepps Crossing, Dan Creek and Horse Creek gives a taste of the beauty this area has to offer and longing to come back for more!
Registration will open March 1st at Noon (MST).
Howdy everyone, and happy spring!

This is a 436 mile self-supported bikepacking adventure!
The Fitz-Barn has been nicknamed “Tour Divide for the Working Class” due to its grassroots nature and few, but purist set of rules. Some choose to race it. Others choose to tour it. Should you intend to compete with others, you must rely completely on yourself — the spirit of self-supported. There is no aid or SAG available along the route. If you leave the route, you must go back and pick up where you left to continue racing. All we ask is for transparency — if you took aid, skipped a section, etc. your achievement is still great, but you are disqualified from competing.
The 2021 “Barn-Fitz” will take place on the weekend of August 13, 14, 15 and 16. We'll start at Red Barn Bicycles in Hamilton, MT (following the same route as the last four years) with the finish at Fitzgerald's Bicycles in Victor, ID

Join the Fitzgerald's Crew and Kait Boyle for a self-guided ride on the best of Teton Valley’s gravel backroads!
We will all start out at the same time, but you ride at your own pace -- aka this is NOT a race, but it is also not a no-drop ride. Instead, it's a community-oriented challenge to ride some of the best Teton Valley gravel with new or old friends and regroup at the end for food, local cider and swag!
Choose between the 40-mile "Drictor Loop" or the 80-mile Valley Gravel Perimeter -- both are great adventures, featuring all the best roads on the outskirts of the valley. Finish at High Point Cider for delicious, made-from-scratch tacos from Juan Morales and ciders from two local brothers and awesome swag from Pivot Cycles and Industry Nine.
The Valley Perimeter riders leave Fitzgerald’s at 9am and the Drictor riders leave Fitzgerald’s at noon -- all meeting up at High Point Cider (7565 Lupine Ln) at the end.
As this is self-guided, please download the route to your GPS device or phone using the Ride With GPS app to navigate. See both routes here, or

The Fitz-Barn is a 440 mile, point to point backcountry gravel road route through the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and Rocky Mountains of Idaho and Southwest Montana connecting Fitzgerald's Bicycles in Victor, ID to Red Barn Bicycles in Hamilton, MT. Roughly 200 miles of the Fitz-Barn shares the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. Each year it alternates directions.
The route covers deep coniferous forests growing up from the Yellowstone Caldera, climbs high into burn areas of the Beaverhead Mountains, parallels the Continental Divide of the Montana/Idaho border, runs along the entirety of the Teton Range, through the Big Hole Valley and historic roads such as the Big Sheep Creek Backcountry Byway.
This is entirely a self-supported bikepacking event -- no SAG or support along the route. This isn’t a race and riders can take as many days as they’d like. However, most aim to finish in 3 to 4 days and some choose to ride it at a “Tour Divide pace”. The FKT is 1 day, 22 hours and 23 minutes set by Jay Petervary.
