Gran Fondo Badlands

🚴‍♀️ Welcome to the Drumheller Valley, Gran Fondo Badlands riders!

Today, our incredible landscapes are the backdrop for an unforgettable ride through hoodoos, river valleys, and some of Alberta's most iconic scenery. We're thrilled to welcome cyclists and supporters from near and far to experience everything our destination has to offer.

If you're out and about today, please give riders plenty of space, slow down when passing, and help us make this a safe and memorable day for everyone.

Once you've crossed the finish line—or if you're cheering from the sidelines—cool off with a refreshing drink, a delicious meal, or a sweet treat from one of our amazing local businesses. 🍹☕🍦 There's no better way to celebrate a day in the Badlands while supporting the local businesses that make our community so special.

Good luck to all the riders, and enjoy your day exploring the Drumheller Valley! ❤️

We’ve had such a great feedback about our cute bicycle medals. 🚲❤️
These were made by a local Calgary company .wood.goods.gal

We are already hard at work designing T-shirts, pint glasses, and medals for 2024 and we have decided we definitely need to incorporate some more dinosaurs! 🦖🦕
