Gravel Cup Series – Back Forty Highlander – Ottawa, ON

September 7 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Gravel rider riding a trail in muddy racing kit text reads "gravel"

From the picturesque location of the Back Forty Artisan Cheese Farm this marquee event uses the stunning roads of North Frontenac and Lanark Highlands.

Lots of single lane treed gravel roads await you in this beautiful area where maple syrup is the most abundant natural resource. You will be spellbound by views of the Mississippi River, Dalhousie Lake & the rolling hills of forests that dot the landscape.

Logging and colonization has shaped the history of this once more populated area. Today the old logging roads are quiet and the marble of the nearby Tatlock Quarry has given many of the roads a distinctly white hue, similar to the Italian cycling classic Strada Bianche.

Come challenge yourself on 4 different routes ranging from 35km to 115km. Afterwards, relax and reminisce with food and drink on the shore of the Mississippi River with the calming distant sound of waterfalls.
