​
Unfortunately we have not been able to obtain access to all parts of the off-road(gravel) course we had planned. In it's place we are offering a ride that is shorter ~42.7km, 70% on pavement and 30% on gravel. Our introductory pricing is $50(no t-shirt). Once the design of the t-short is finalized we will offer them for sale on the registration site.
​
All the riders are a little longer due to the change in starting location with at least 100m less vertical rise and without the steep hills at the very beginning and very end that were a bit problematic. As well the ride is now along roads that generally have very little traffic.
​
Gran Fondo - 164 km ride with stunning views of Kootenay Lake, snow capped mountains, bucolic farm country and a long hill climb, all of which will take your breath away!
​
Medio Fondo- 104.8 km ride with stunning views of Kootenay Lake and snow capped mountains.
​
Piccolo Fondo - 61.7km ride with stunning views of Kootenay Lake and snow capped mountains.
​
Gravelino - 42.7km a new ride through the farmlands of the Creston Valley and alongside the Kootenay River.
