June 23-26, 2011
Every week is Bike Week here in Crested Butte, so we changed the name of our fest (from Fat Tire Bike Week) to Crested Butte Bike Week as we strive to fill people in on biking's epicenter, where riders, friends, and families gather each summer to celebrate all things bike. The 2011 event features the Clif Bar Fat Tire 40 endurance race, the Chainless World Championships, and some primo entertainment: Toots and the Maytals.

Mountain Bike Hall of Fame
Those interested in the story of mountain biking can see it first-hand at the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame located in the Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum in downtown Crested Butte. Classic bikes, photos, mementos and media clips tell the lively story of this home-grown sport and the characters who gave it life. Visit Mountain Bike Hall of Fame online.
