SUMMARY:Gravel - Hell/Heck of the North - Fall Edition - Ballantrae\, ON
DESCRIPTION:Hell Of THE North\nOur 14th annual ‘Hell of the North was our best yet. The fall edition will for sure crank things up even more. Our goal is to continue to work as hard as we can to bring you an event where life long memories are made. Starting and ending at the Ballantrae Community Center\, this epic spring classic has 90 kilometres of the most amazing dirt and off road sections that will make this truly one of the most challenging events around. It promises to test your late season fitness. As always the Hell of the North route will include rail trails\, dirt roads and some of the area’s nicest climbs. Cyclocross and mountain bikes for this wave. There are sections you will have to dismount and run. Road bikes are not recommended\, MTB shoes and pedals are! \nHeck Of THE North\nReturning for it’s 10th year\, we have an incredible\, alternative route called the HECK. This ride is for EVERYONE. This is a road event for roadies on road bikes. The HECK is for anyone who wishes to be tested but doesn’t want to dismount or ride through a farmers field like the crazies that do the HELL. The HECK of the North is a 70 kilometer route that will still include many of the amazing “paved” roads used in the Hell of the North but there are no off-road sections\, farmers fields\, or the nasty trench. This means you can ride a regular road bike on this beauty. There is only one hard packed gravel section. The rest of the course is 99% asphalt. Please tell your friends and help get the word out. Many out there still think the HECK isn’t for them but in reality it is for EVERYONE\, they just don’t know it yet. \n\n\nWEBSITE\n\n\nTECH GUIDE

SUMMARY:Gravel - Almonte Paris-Roubaix - Ottawa\, ON REGISTRATION FULL
DESCRIPTION:Like its inspiration\, the 33rd Ottawa Valley Paris-Roubaix Cyclosportif mixes well paved roads with abominations. The route includes mud\, gravel\, sand\, rocks\, unmaintained roads\, woodlots and one switchback climb. The classic route is about 80 kilometres. A shorter 40 km is an option for riders and includes 3 woodlots. Note: Riders aged 11 to 16 (turning 11 to 16 in 2024) are eligible to ride only the 40 km route\, and must have an adult riding with them\, or be in a preorganized group with at least one adult. U19 riders (turning 17 or 18 in 2024) may ride the long course. \nThis is a cyclosportif ride\, not a race. The roads are open to other users. All traffic laws\, including stopping at stop signs and staying to the right\, apply to all riders at all times. Marshals may stop or delay riders for safety reasons. Any rider who disobeys their instructions will be immediately removed from the event. \nThere will be no motorized support\, partly because some of the roads are not passable for motor vehicles. We strongly recommend that riders choose cycling equipment for its robustness\, not its lightness. Any kind of bicycle may be used\, although gravel/cyclocross bikes with large section road tires (at least 28 mm wide) are generally the best choice. Fixed gear bicycles must be equipped with at least a front working brake as is required under the Highway Traffic Act. Tribars are not allowed – you can’t go all Ted King here. It is each rider’s personal responsibility to ensure that their bicycle is legal and safe for road use in Ontario. \nAll riders must carry a working pump and at least two spare inner tubes. Tubular tire users should have at least two spare tires or one tire and an aerosol patching inflator. A cell phone is an excellent item to carry for calling for help if necessary. \nHelmets are required at all times\, including during warm-up. \nFor the safety of other riders and to avoid congestion\, personal or team following vehicles are not permitted. Any riders or members of teams who violate this rule will be disqualified. \nThe only store along the route that might be open is at Clayton\, but it is very close to the finish. Some riders will take nearly 4 hours to complete the ride\, so riders must carry sufficient food and drink for their ride. Note: due to the rough route\, be sure that your water bottles and pumps are well affixed to you and/or your bike. \n													\n			\n						Registration FULL\n					\n			\n						Tech Guide\n					\n													\n			\n						Event Website

SUMMARY:Gravel - Paris to Ancaster - Hamilton\, ON
DESCRIPTION:For over a century the roads of northern Europe have been home to the toughest bicycle races in the world. The most famous of these\, Paris to Roubaix\, takes place each spring over brutal cobblestone roads that have been preserved in their historic condition for over 100 years. Inspired by this classic race\, the Paris to Ancaster has taken place since 1994 over the roughest farm lanes\, trails and gravel roads we can find. We welcome the largest field of riders assembled in Canada for the Paris to Ancaster 2024. Join them on April 28 2024 to become part of the history of this unique race\, Canada’s Spring Cycling Classic. \n\nRegistration\n\n\nWebsite\n \nRaise money for St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation\nYou already know that Paris to Ancaster is Canada’s Spring Cycling Classic\, but did you know this event is also coined a Ride for Research? That’s because for the past eight years\, the organizers of Paris to Ancaster have partnered with St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation and invited race participants to ride and raise funds to support groundbreaking research at St. Joe’s. \nWe know\, the words groundbreaking research sound great\, but what do they really mean? \n\nIt means that the largest national study EVER into the leading cause of blindness for Canadians is underway at St. Joe’s.\nIt means that 54 new clinical trials are happening at the Hospital\nIt means that St. Joe’s is changing the way that urologic surgeries are performed with robotics\nIt means that every day\, more than 700 researchers and learners are striving to understand illness and disease so that we can discover new treatments and possibly even new cures for the diseases that affect so many.\n\nThe research being done at St. Joe’s changes lives. That’s why we’re inviting you to consider raising funds for St. Joe’s during your ride\, or simply choose to make a gift at the time of registration. Either way\, you’ll be helping the Hospital that helped so many of us over the past few years as we struggled with the impact and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope you will join us on this Ride for Research. \n\nDonate

SUMMARY:Gravel Cup Series - Back Forty Highlander - Ottawa\, ON
DESCRIPTION:From the picturesque location of the Back Forty Artisan Cheese Farm this marquee event uses the stunning roads of North Frontenac and Lanark Highlands. \nLots 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. \nLogging 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. \nCome 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. \nRegistration\n\n\nTech Guide (Coming Soon)

SUMMARY:Almonte Paris - Roubaix
DESCRIPTION:Like its inspiration\, the 35th Ottawa Valley Almonte Paris Roubaix Cyclosportif mixes well paved roads with abominations. The route includes mud\, gravel\, sand\, rocks\, unmaintained roads\, woodlots and one switchback climb. The classic route is about 80 kilometers. A shorter 40 km is an option for riders and includes 3 woodlots. Note: Riders aged 11 to 16 (turning 11 to 16 in 2026) are eligible to ride only the 40 km route\, and must have an adult riding with them\, or be in a preorganized group with at least one adult. U19 riders (turning 17 or 18 in 2026) may ride the long course. This is a cyclosportif ride\, not a race. The roads are open to other users. All traffic laws\, including stopping at stop signs and staying to the right\, apply to all riders at all times. Marshals may stop or delay riders for safety reasons. Any rider who disobeys their instructions will be immediately removed from the event. There will be no motorized support\, partly because some of the roads are not passable for motor vehicles. We strongly recommend that riders choose cycling equipment for its robustness\, not its lightness. Any kind of bicycle may be used\, although gravel/cyclocross bikes with large section road tires (at least 28 mm wide) are generally the best choice. Fixed gear bicycles must be equipped with at least a front working brake as is required under the Highway Traffic Act. Tri Bars are not allowed – you can’t go all Ted King here. It is each rider’s personal responsibility to ensure that their bicycle is legal and safe for road use in Ontario.  \n  \nRegistration \nTech Guide \nFor any event inquiries please email p_schuck@sympatico.ca
