Every year, it is my pleasure to not only send riders off from the start but welcome every rider back across the finish line. For those of you new to gravel cycling or maybe just new to our events, it’s a tradition that we have kept for 17 years. I’m there because we take great pride in our events and even greater joy in the accomplishments of each participant. It never gets old. So many stories. So many amazing efforts.
We are very happy with the event this year for not only reasons of safety but also Graveleer greatness. We saw some tremendous examples of being Graveleer. First events, longest rides, overcoming challenges, on-course camaraderie, and a lot of smiles at the finish line. I’m sure I will hear more as I often do sometime next December…but for now, thank you for helping to make it a great Le Grand du Nord.
We send another heart felt thank you to our incredible volunteer corp. Simply put, we have the best in gravel cycling and we are very grateful.
We also send a big thanks to our sponsors for Le Grand. Please consider them when shopping for your next cycling related acquisition or local North Shore service. Sponsors.
We are gearing up for The Fox Bikepacking Race. It’s a favorite of ours and we can’t wait to host. Until The Fox or maybe The Heck of the North, Ride the Good Line and keep being Graveleer!
