From the mountains to the sea !
Come and enjoy the very first Gravel race of the French-Italian border !
Off the beaten track
Thanks to the existence of the network of military tracks and fire-roads on this transalpine side of the French Riviera, and to the mix of terrains and fantastic landscapes that this great crossing will offer, the Trans Riviera Gravel option will be in perfect adequacy with the spirit of versatility, endurance and outdoor discovery of this specialty.
A sporting adventure
On the programme, nearly 100 km and 3000 positive altitude changes, a departure from Tende at 9.15 am for nearly 5 hours of effort!
Part of the logistics, supplies, aid, will be common to that of the mountain bikes, but the courses will be 80% separate..
