The Big Mick 2027

The Big Mick Century Ride returns on June 12, 2027, inviting cyclists to pedal through the stunning Black Hills of South Dakota. This epic journey covers 109 miles along the George S. Mickelson Trail, a historic rails-to-trails conversion that winds through picturesque landscapes and vibrant mining towns.
Participants will traverse more than 100 bridges and pass through three tunnels as they explore the trail's rich history and natural beauty. The route offers varied terrain with elevations that challenge even seasoned cyclists, culminating in Edgemont, a charming town marking the end of this monumental journey.
The Big Mick Century Ride is not just an event; it’s a tribute to resilience and spirit. Cyclists will experience firsthand the allure of South Dakota's Black Hills as they pedal along the former Burlington Northern rail line, now transformed into one of America's most scenic cycling paths. With trail sweeps and SAG drivers providing support throughout the day, riders can focus on soaking in the breathtaking views and exploring this historic route.
From Deadwood to Edgemont, each mile brings a new adventure, with water stations at every major trailhead ensuring cyclists stay hydrated along the way. Lunch is served in Custer, while dinner awaits in Edgemont, making it an unforgettable day of cycling and community.
