Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Sea2Sky Gravel Fondo demands sustained climbing power and handling confidence over 85 kilometers of rolling mountain terrain and Forest Service Roads.
Climbing volume
Accumulating 1,900 meters of elevation gain across an 85-kilometer route requires continuous climbing capacity and steady pacing on sustained ascents.
Gravel handling
Riding wide gravel Forest Service Roads demands bike-handling skills suited to loose and variable unpaved surfaces.
Late-September conditions
Racing in Squamish in late September requires preparation for cooler mountain temperatures and potentially wet conditions.
A target intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour will support energy levels throughout an effort lasting well over three hours.
