Updated route maps are available on our website at: TourdeBigBear.com . Some of the great features at Snow Summit that we think your entire family will enjoy: Snow Summit Base Area Activities Open and Available Base area activities that are perfect for little explorers and thrill-seekers alike, including a 30-foot climbing wall, Euro Bungee trampoline, kids full throttle course, zip line, Grizzly tube park, bounce houses, pump track, panning for gold, face painting, petting zoo, candy shop and live entertainment. Snow Summit Scenic Sky Chair Rides Available Enjoy panoramic views of the San Bernardino National Forest on a mile-long ascent on Snow Summit's Scenic Sky Chair before arriving at the mountaintop (Snow Summit elevation 8,200 feet). We’ll keep you posted as more information becomes available. Thank you for your support and we’ll see you soon!

BEING THERE: TOUR DE BIG BEAR

by Jon Hornbeck

Big Bear is becoming quite the destination place for the cycling community whether your a top World Tour professional or just the weekend warrior looking to get some good riding in. Big Bear has been a part of the Tour of California for a number of years and just recently hosted the time trial stage this past year. The city also has become a popular area to stay for altitude training for top cyclists. Phil Gaimon enjoyed it so much he even bought a cabin up in Big Bear.

A couple years back I got my first experience at the riding available in Big Bear while I was up there getting ready for Tour of Utah. Living in Southern California it is a relatively close destination to go for an altitude stint. It just so happen that during my time up there the Tour de Big Bear was going on as well. I was able to join the fun and get in a good day of training before heading out to the races. Since then I haven’t been able to go back due to conflicts with racing but now that those days are done I sure wasn’t going to miss this chance to get up there for another adventure.

Oh and what an adventure it turned into. The week leading into the Tour de Big Bear turned into a busy one as I was on the east coast with Cannondale for their CX team camp. That wrapped up Friday with my flight from New York to LA arriving at 9pm Friday night. Not ideal but enough time to get up the mountain in time for the 7am start of the Tour de Big Bear. Well a few hiccups with missed flights had me leaving New York at 9:30pm and finally landing in LA at 1am. Once getting my bags and car I was out of the airport and heading up the mountain to roll into Big Bear at around 4am. With nobody out this late around town I must’ve stood out as I was quickly pulled over by one of the local sheriffs. Not ideal but once he realized I wasn’t some drunk driver and actually here to cover the event which started in three hours he let me go on my way.

A couple hours of sleep and I was ready for the Tour de Big Bear HC category. The HC category is a new feature which Big Bear has recently added to really up the challenge for 200 brave cyclists who don’t believe the standard century is hard enough. With over 12,000 feet of climbing at altitude and multiple K.O.M.’s it offers quite the long day in the saddle. It’s events such as these which are needed as recently so many local races have been removed from the calendar that rides like these are much appreciated. The Tour de Big Bear isn’t just about the long hard fought miles but offer up many other distance options as well with the 25, 50, 70, 107 and 125 mile options. There’s no surprise that with the route options and hospitality on hand that 2,000 plus riders show up to take on the challenge of their choosing.

The long route started by taking us around the lake which was a good way to open the legs up and have some friendly chats with other riders and friends which showed up. Former pro’s Phil Gaimon and Freddy Rodriguez were on hand with also current pro Alison Tetrik. The first 40 miles or so were rather mellow until we hit the first climb up to Onyx summit where Phil had to up the pace to keep his K.O.M. challenge going. After slipping off the pace a bit I decided it was time to go my own pace with a group where we could enjoy ourselves for the next five hours.

The next few hours were spent going up and coming down many times through the thin air while loading up on bottles and food from the stops and support cars we had. Luckily being up front we had a Sram neutral car and volunteers in vehicles that were handing us bottles and food when needed. Pretty top notch in my book. During the route there were a few out and backs with the climbs which really put into perspective how many riders were up taking part in the Tour de Big Bear as we would see them all on our way back.With very little car traffic it was quite the scene to see all of the riders out on the roads.

Once coming back into the village to finish our 125 mile trek we were greeted with our names being called out over the microphone and medals being handed to us. With most of the riders from the shorter distances finished up already the post ride expo was jam packed with people telling stories and speaking of their day out on the bike while having some recovery beers. If you participated in the HC category you were treated to your own sectioned off area with plenty of food and drinks. Myself, Phil and Alison all chatted about the day we had and their rides as Phil took home the men’s K.O.M. and Alison took the honors in the Q.O.M. competition.

Catching up with Alison after the ride she had to say; “As a cyclist, I have become very familiar with Big Bear.  The town always opens its doors to iconic cycling events such as the Amgen Tour of California, Redlands Bicycle Classic, and the Tour de Big Bear.  The Tour de Big Bear really showcases a beautiful part of California and offers routes, challenges, food, and fun for all types of cyclists.  I opted for the grueling HC Fondo, which covered over 125 miles and 11,500 feet of climbing.  But at the finish line, we all were able to enjoy the beer, food, and festival as we relived our glory and our pain along the way.  The best thing about the Tour de Big Bear is it isn’t just about one event, it is about a full week of activities on the bike and in the community to enjoy the Southern California mountains in the summer.  Even the day after the main ride, I enjoyed a lap around the lake with hundreds of my new friends.  For some reason though, they all were riding much faster than I was.”

The Tour de Big Bear is not just a one day event though as they have many different cycling events spread out over the days. The day before the event on Friday they have a Poker ride, road bicycle concours, Big Bear cycling expo and the New Belgium beer garden. Saturday is the Tour de Big Bear with all of the routes, Big Bear cycling expo, raffle and beer garden. Sunday you can take part in the recover ride and big bear time trial if you didn’t get enough suffering the day before. Now I just need to convince them to have a Gravel event as well as I’m sure that would be epic with the riding they have to offer up there!

Privacy Overview

• Most purposes explained in this notice rely on the storage or accessing of information from your device when you use an app or visit a website. For example, a vendor or publisher might need to store a cookie on your device during your first visit on a website, to be able to recognise your device during your next visits (by accessing this cookie each time).
• A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they are in an urban zone.
• A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.
• If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
• An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.
• An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you with the corresponding advertisement on the app.
• A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.
• You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
• You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.
• You read articles on vegetarian food on a social media platform and then use the cooking app of an unrelated company. The profile built about you on the social media platform will be used to present you vegetarian recipes on the welcome screen of the cooking app.
• You have viewed three videos about rowing across different websites. An unrelated video sharing platform will recommend five other videos on rowing that may be of interest to you when you use your TV app, based on a profile built about you when you visited those different websites to watch online videos.
• You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
• You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.
• You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
• You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.
• The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
• An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.
• A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve their performance.
• An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying advertising on this type of device.
• A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
• A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.
• An advertising intermediary delivers ads from various advertisers to its network of partnering websites. It notices a large increase in clicks on ads relating to one advertiser, and uses data regarding the source of the clicks to determine that 80% of the clicks come from bots rather than humans.
• Clicking on a link in an article might normally send you to another page or part of the article. To achieve this, 1°) your browser sends a request to a server linked to the website, 2°) the server answers back (“here is the article you asked for”), using technical information automatically included in the request sent by your device, to properly display the information / images that are part of the article you asked for. Technically, such exchange of information is necessary to deliver the content that appears on your screen.

Tour de Big Bear Gravel Ride & Routes

Dirty bear & dirty cub gravel rides.

Need a little dirt under your tires?  The Tour de Big Bear Dirty Bear and Dirty Cub rides are the answer.  Held the same day as the Tour de Big Bear and utilizing some of the famous Tour de Big Bear aid stations!

The Dirty Bear is 50 miles of mixed surface fun on the roads and trails of Big Bear Lake.  The Dirty Cub is a shorter version of the Dirty Bear course with 25 miles of flowy fun!

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.

Tour de Big Bear participants receive a 30% discount on all full priced items. Use discount code TDBB30 . All orders of $50 and over qualify for free shipping.
