La Gravel Bike des Fontaines - Grandchamp-des-Fontaines 2026

La Gravel Bike des Fontaines is a gravel cycling event held in Grandchamp-des-Fontaines, Loire-Atlantique. It takes place in autumn, organized by the local cycling club. The number of participants is limited to 99 riders, with departures beginning at 7 a.m. The format is straightforward: participants select one of three distances and navigate the course independently using a GPX track provided a few days prior. The three routes measure 60 km, 100 km, and 150 km, accommodating riders seeking a shorter gravel ride or a long day over mixed terrain. Refreshments are available at the halfway point and at the finish, where participants receive a sausage galette and a drink. Now in its fifth edition, the club maintains a practical local approach, with members wearing fluorescent vests for increased visibility.
