The Blue Mountains Gravel Fondo is a new event organized by Cycling Events Ontario which is a not-for-profit organization made up of a team of passionate cyclists with the goal of bringing safe, and challenging, cycling events to Ontario. The organizing team includes Bruce Bird, multiple UCI Gran Fondo World Champion, and organizer of the Blue Mountains UCI Gran Fondo 2015-19.
Our new gravel racing format event will serve as a qualifier for the UCI Gravel World Championships.
Thanks to consulting with some of the most knowledgeable gravel riders in the region and after making sure the course was designed with rider safety in mind, We have developed a beautiful course that will in parts favour the power riders as they ride through open windy sections of wide gravel roads. On other parts of the course climbers will be able to create separation on some short punchy climbs. There are other sections where cars cannot pass where riders with advanced bike handling skills will be able to separate themselves from those without. The entire course provides magnificent scenery for all.
