Monuments of Cycling is thrilled to announce the expansion of the Belgian Waffle Ride (BWR) Series with the addition of Bozeman, Montana, as the newest destination in its 2025 lineup. Scheduled for the third week of June, BWR Bozeman will showcase Bozeman as the ideal setting for a world-class gravel race, attracting riders from local communities and across the globe. Participants can look forward to an unparalleled experience featuring Bozeman's stunning backcountry riding and vibrant outdoor culture.

Bozeman, with its picture-perfect June weather of warm, sunny days and cool nights, sets the stage for an unforgettable racing experience. The city's lush landscapes, framed by the stunning Rocky Mountains, provide sweeping vistas, rugged terrain, and exhilarating elevation changes that will both challenge and inspire riders. Bozeman's expansive network of gravel roads and trails, winding through pristine forests, crystal-clear rivers, and vast open plains, creates an incredible backdrop for riders to explore and conquer the unroads of the area.

In Bozeman, riders will not only face the thrill of the race but also immerse themselves in the city's unique blend of small-town charm and world-class amenities—from local dining and breweries to quaint lodges and modern hotels. It's not just a race; it's a journey through some of the most breathtaking and diverse landscapes North America has to offer. Bozeman in June is truly a gravel rider's paradise, where the wild spirit of Montana meets the thrill of unroad racing.

“We’re incredibly excited to bring the Belgian Waffle Ride to Bozeman,” said Michael Marckx, BWR founder. “This location offers everything we could hope for in a world-class race setting—stunning natural beauty, a welcoming and vibrant community, and an unmatched gravel riding experience.
