Epic Boulder Canyon Experience
If you’re riding the Epic, Epic 75, or starting the Gravel Epic, you’ll experience something truly special: westbound Boulder Canyon will be closed to vehicle traffic from 7–9 a.m. This is the one day all year when cyclists can enjoy this stunning canyon completely car-free—an unforgettable perk reserved just for Buffalo Bicycle Classic riders.
Fundraising Mission
The Buffalo Bicycle Classic is more than a ride—it’s a fundraising event dedicated to supporting Colorado students through the BBC Scholarship Fund. This year marks our 24th anniversary, and our mission remains clear: help high-achieving, high-need students access a CU Boulder education.
- Registration Impact: Your registration supports scholarships, but you can make an even bigger impact by raising funds for BBC scholarships.
- Fundraiser Opportunity: As a part of ride registration, you have the option to become a fundraiser and collect awesome swag along the way.
- Custom Page: We will create a custom page and you can invite friends and family to contribute, helping open doors for more students.
- Proven Success: Since 2003, the Buffalo Bicycle Classic has raised $4.3 million, helping 450+ students pursue their degrees.
Join Us
Your support ensures these scholars can focus on their education—not their tuition bills. Every registration counts. Every fundraiser amplifies the mission. Every dollar changes lives.
