The Gravel Fundo is back! After a few years of hiatus, we’re proud to bring back this premium Saskatchewan gravel event. What is a Gravel Fundo? It’s a gravel party on wheels. Riders can choose to either ride the course and take in the amazing scenery of the Qu’Appelle Valley or compete for their best time and a spot on the podium. The route consists of scenic backroads that wind through the valley, challenging climbs, and hair-raising, fast descents. The emphasis is on having fun and enjoying the ride.
