2020 Ride for Water

Gravel riding has always been about adventures. It is escaping traffic and getting from here to there by any means necessary. This often consists of back roads, gravel roads, FSR, dike trails or even sections of your local mtb network. It takes a bit of planning to be able to escape busy traffic and the like. But when its done right, it's definitely worth it!

In order to help stop the spread of COVID-19, we are taking this year's event virtual! From September 4th - October 4th, we will open up #DIYrideforwater. DIY Gravel is about being 100% self-supported. From navigation to food, to water, to backcountry mechanicals. If you are in BC and want to ride your chosen distance on the Ride for Water course, by all means, feel free to do so! Nearly 100 pre-registrants were planning on attending from out-of-province and the United States. If this is you, please, get out and ride your distance safely within your local area.

We have three different distance offerings - a 27km Intro to Gravel route, a 71km Medio route and the 130km Epic route.

After your ride, please log back to your registration and submit your time and a screenshot of your strava/selfie photo! You can submit your result here: https://results.raceroster.com/results/fymd4tv2rvt5nrv5

A step-by-step guide on how to upload your result can be found HERE.

100% of your registration fee will be going to bring clean water and quality primary education to communities of Buluk, Adiabuna and Fresiweat. For more information, please visit rideforwater.ca

Registration fee is non-refundable and non-transferrable to another person.
