Play it safe during the Mane Event Gravel Grinder

The Mane Event Gravel Grinder will be happening in Sheridan on Sept. 17. This Fall bike race is the largest fundraiser for the Sheridan Sundowners Lions Club.

According to their website, funds from this event will allow the Club to continue with its projects to benefit Sheridan and the residents within the community. The largest impact the Club has is through vision-related work. This work includes purchasing exams and eyeglasses for those who may not have the means to do so on their own. The Sheridan Sundowners Lions Club also conducts free vision screening for young children in the area. 

According to the Club, these screenings have been done in Sheridan, Big Horn, Ranchester, Clearmont, Arvada, Kaycee and on the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana at the schools Wyola and Lodge Grass.

The Mane Event Gravel Grinder includes a 25, 50 and 80 mile challenge for participating riders. 

While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse program, Sheridan County Sheriff’s Office Sergeant Devereaux Johnson announced the race and asked residents who may be traveling the course the day of the race to keep a heads up for their and the riders safety.
