Boneshaker Rides LLC hosts multiple cycling events in Cowley County throughout the year. While we might be most [in]famous for Elrod’s Cirque, we also host a multitude of free group rides throughout the year. These smaller group rides feature unique areas within our communities throughout the county. New in 2022 we are bringing back a classic, the Tour de Lizard at Camp Horizon in November.
Cowley County is centrally located within the premier midwestern gravel scene and also home to one of the best mountain bike trails in the state at Camp Horizon. Boneshaker Rides founder Bobby Smith has been organizing events throughout the area since 2001.

With every group ride and event Bobby and our team take particular care to feature the scenery, roads, businesses and bridges that make our community special.
