Set in beautiful Grey County at the southern end of Georgian Bay starting and finishing in the town of Thornbury, Ontario, the area provides the ideal geography for a world class gravel event, with a broad variety of terrain under a variety of road surfaces leveraging the Niagara Escarpment and Beaver Valley for challenging climbs. The Blue Mountain Gravel Fondo will act as a qualifying event where the top 25% in each age group qualify for the UCI World Championship Gravel Event; Oct 8/9 Veneto, Italy.
