The FELT Bicycles Gravel Cup Canada Cycling Series euro-sports is back for its third year with 8 challenging events from April to October offering longer “Challenge” and shorter “Sport” courses taking place primarily in the Ottawa Valley. New for 2020 is our marquee “R3G3” gravel grinder, and a Southern Ontario event, the “Kawartha Rube-eh?”. Although most of the participants just ride for fun the competitive cyclists will be battling over the series yellow jersey until the final ones are awarded along with their names being inscribed on the Gravel Cup.

Also back is the 2nd annual “unofficial” Canadian National Gravel Championships on Saturday September 19th at McGregors Orchard in the Ottawa Valley township of McNab/Braeside. All categories, Elite, U23, Junior, & Masters are on the table for their own championship jerseys and podium (men/women). This year the event is on a 34km spectator friendly loop that includes stone-dust rail trail, double track rail trail, a summer maintained farm road, treed gravel, open gravel & a short 1km unmaintained section. A one lap “sport” non-championship route is available for anyone who just wants to go for a ride & be part of the event. The festivities will be enhanced by coverage via a live-stream feed available anywhere & broadcast at the event. Last years event was won by former National Road Champ Bruno Langlois & top Canadian cyclocross rider, Natasha Elliot.

The “Challenge” distance is 168km, with 100km, 60km & 17km distances also available. Joining as special guests will be the King of Gravel, Ted King and Canadian Cross Champion, Maghalie Rochette.
