In the spirit of adventure and exploration, like Bear Howard himself, this event will leave you feeling legendary (if only in your own mind).  Sure the stories that follow around the campfire will be exaggerated and inflated, but we promise you adventure and fun with this classic loop around Flagstaffs peaks.

The Bear Howard is 100 miles of prime gravel riding around the “Peaks” of N. Arizona, with a few sections of technical gravel.  Consider it a tour of Flagstaff, taking in views of Kendrick, Sitgreaves and of course the San Francisco Peaks.   

We have also added a 60 mile and a 30 mile to lower the bar of entry.
