Welcome to the Big Mick 2024!

This 109 mile ride takes place on America’s most scenic rails to trails conversion: The George S. Mickelson Trail. Enjoy a challenging day of historic exploration and unparalleled natural beauty as you embark on a cycling adventure like no other.

Pedaling through the heart of the Black Hills, participants will be captivated by our region’s rich history and picturesque landscapes. The trail passes through historic mining towns, over more than 100 bridges, and through three tunnels.

As the miles unfold, cyclists will be challenged by varying elevations and terrains, creating a sense of accomplishment with every hill conquered. The route culminates in the charming town of Edgemont, marking the completion of a monumental 109-mile journey - in one day!.

The Big Mick Century Ride isn’t just a cycling event; it’s an exploration

they traverse. With its combination of natural beauty, historical significance,

and the thrill of the open road, this epic one-day event stands as a testament
