Is it gravel or is it not gravel!

Want to escape and discover new horizons? The gravel bike is the perfect choice for adventurers and nature lovers 🏞️. This sport, straight from the United States about a decade ago 🇺🇸, is rapidly expanding. Gravel is the ultimate versatile bike ⭐. Whether you're riding on roads or exploring dirt paths, it adapts to everything with its knobby and wide tires. It absorbs shocks and provides you with excellent comfort 😁. It's like trail running in cycling: an adventure on all terrains 🚵. So, ready for your first challenge?

If you're looking for a bit of adventure, gravel is made for you! This type of bike, positioned between a road bike and a mountain bike, allows you to explore both roads and trails 🛤️. Whether you're a speed lover on rolling courses or a cyclist seeking adventure on technical trails, this discipline is versatile 👍.

Gravel is adventure accessible to everyone, regardless of your age or fitness level 🤓. There are distances for everyone, from a discovery ride to ultra-distance! 🚴 To get started, find an event 🗓️, sign up, and get ready for an unforgettable experience! ✨ You can train in gravel even without competition goals, it adds a playful and structured touch to your outings, while also allowing you to make progress. To really advance in the long term, you'll need to structure your training sessions a bit. Train over several weeks or months before the big day 🤩. It's important to work on your technique to master your bike on trails 🎓, and to focus on endurance, speed, and resistance 🚀.

The discipline is year-round! The key thing to remember is to have the right outfit for each season. For winter and fall 🍂, a waterproof jacket will be your best friend, as the upper body is most exposed to rain and wind 🌬️. In summer ☀️, choose lighter and breathable clothing. A pair of shorts or a classic jersey will do. Don't forget the essentials: socks, gloves, neck gaiter, beanie...

Feeling like a festive race? Whether you're a beginner or an experienced cyclist, there's a race for you! You can join the Cyclosportive Babybel in Évron or even participate in a bike bivouac with the Nuit en Selle Lyon race 🌙. If you prefer a no-pressure experience, opt for the Poco Loco: ride at your own pace, whether to stroll, sprint, joke, or chat 😀. And for long-distance enthusiasts 🚴, the Tour de Meuse invites you to discover the breathtaking landscapes of the Grand Est region in France 🇫🇷, with stages ranging from 150 km to 460 km. In Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, discover DVélos Lac Annecy, La Drômoise, La Graveloppet or the Galibier Challenge Cyclosportive! All these competitions can be a perfect excuse to travel and discover new horizons while combining a sporting challenge 🌍.

These examples are just a small selection among many others worldwide! So, ready to dive into the discipline? We're waiting for your registration for an adventure that suits you best! 📝 Gear up and race to the finish line! 🏁
