A toast to everyone out there! 🍾🥂The spirit of gravel starts with this community
Although the racing at the front was fast and furious, the best experiences at the Gravel Explorer XLT happened regardless of speed. From first to last, and every rider in between, the spirit of adventuring on gravel - riding anywhere a gravel bike can go in the South Okanagan - was alive and well.
After 5 days of the Gravel Explorer XLT, racers covered 368 kilometres of some of the most diverse, epic, adventurous gravel the South Okanagan has on tap. Across those 368 kilometres, racers climbed their bikes 7,378 metres up, nearing the equivalent of Mount Everest!
During racing kilometres, riders climbed mountainous gravel roads, hike-a-biked through rugged connectors, railed some of the fastest gravel descents around, had near-misses with livestock, and made some new friendships, all while experiencing the spirit of gravel at the Gravel Explorer XLT. Check out the full race report and results on our website.

It’s coming to a close here soon 😢. But as the saying goes, it’s not over till it’s over so let’s stay focused. Today New zone impressed the racers, With such a unique, undiscovered course, even locals learned a new route with Easton Stage 4. It’s not often you get to climb from the arid, low-lying elevations into moss-filled forests, but that’s exactly what happened.

Through a mix of creative connections between decommissioned and active forest service roads, Course Director, Jessy Hoffman, really pulled out all the stops in putting together something unique not only to the Gravel Explorer XLT, but to the usual gravel riding routes in the South Okanagan too.

To get up to the mossy forests, racers had to climb on a mix of smooth and rugged, adventurous gravel. “It was like an uphill time trial at points,” Andrew Schmidt, from Phoenixville, Pennsylvania said of the Stage 4. “The climb was hard, but after that there was one descent that really felt like a gravel pump track. This course was awesome!”

Kevin Willis, from Ottawa, Ontario, agreed. “The downhills were INSANE! We don’t have anything like this back home. The route was different than everything else we’ve done in the race too!”

Putting the explore into the Gravel Explorer was a hike-a-bike section affectionately named the Wall. Although short, it challenged the traction of tires, and eventually cycling shoes, as Gravel Explorers had to carry their bike to the top.
