ABOUT

Description

Starting and finishing in Calais, France, the French Revolution Gran Fondo is a 126 km ride designed to give riders a memorable day on French roads.

From Calais the route heads out into the surrounding countryside, passing through a selection of traditional French villages, quiet rural roads and open farmland before looping back towards the coast and the finish in Calais.

The event is designed as an enjoyable Gran Fondo rather than an all-out race. Ride at your own pace, enjoy the French countryside and make a proper day of it on the bike.

🥤 Feed station – approximately 50 km
📍 Start & finish – Calais, France
🗺️ Route – French villages, countryside and rural roads

The feed station at around the halfway point will give riders the chance to refill bottles and take on food before completing the second half of the route back to Calais.

This is a friendly and welcoming event suitable for riders who want to attept a 100 km ride in the beautiful French countryside.

THERE ARE NO TRAVEL OPTIONS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE, YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR OWN WAY TO CALAIS

Make a Weekend of It

Our advice? Grab a few friends and make a couple of days of it. Calais really is much more than just a ferry port. With its coastline, cafés, restaurants, surrounding villages and French countryside, it makes a great base for a weekend break. If you're travelling over on the morning of the event, either by ferry or via the Channel Tunnel, we've planned the timings to make things easier.
Registration will remain open until 09:45, giving you time to arrive in Calais, register and get yourself ready to ride.
