There are four courses to choose from. See the individual Strava Maps below for course details and downloading.

Hilly Canadian Century ROAD

1.4 km of climbing over a 106 km course

A classic Hilly route with the Graphite-Grind and beautiful lake side vistas. Baptiste Lake road is newly paved and Elephant lake on the Peterson road is awesome. We thought of adding the Eagle’s Nest climb in the beginning of the ride, but the more sensible heads about us decided that coming backdown the hill on rim breaks might be problematic. You still get the Ojibway climb however. The famous Dr Brown feed station is only a quarter of the way in, so don’t worry about carbo loading. I’m serious, full on drive through breakfast. But please stop and enjoy the ambience! There is a water fill at the 60 k mark.

HHHH Ed’s Big GRAVEL

2 km of climbing over a 130 km course

This was our introductory gravel course from 2022. It is named after our veteran rider, Ed Reinhardt, who tragically passed away since last year’s Hilly. He was a super human being and part of the early life blood of cycling in Bancroft. His character is written all over this course. The majority of the course is hard-packed rolling and punchy backroads with a scattering of trails and single-track. Just enough pavement to allow you to catch your breath. You also get to climb the Eagle’s Nest right out of the gate. 10.9 % over 0.9 km peaking to 30 %. There is a prize for you at the top, even if you walk part of it!

Kim’s Sensible GRAVEL

1.5 km of climbing over an 87 km course

If you’re not up for the demands of Ed’s Big GRAVEL, Kim’s Sensible GRAVEL is for you. This route includes all the impressive climbs and vistas of the first 2/3 of the Big course. This 80 ish km will be more than enough if you are new to the world of gravel. Plus you get the privilege of climbing the Eagle’s Nest. Just a 0.9 km climb averaging 10.9 % peaking out at 30 %. There is a prize at the top and no shame in walking any part of it. Let’s be sensible about it.
