Welcome to the gravel event where serious cyclists come to unserious, where world-class wine country meets wild gravel adventures, and where our Lanterne Moouge finisher becomes the day's biggest legend.

From first-time grazers to seasoned stampeders, we've got your gravel dreams covered. Three routes, fully supported with aid stations that'll make you want to mooove in permanently:

• The Big Bovine: For those who think "epic" sounds like a nice warm-up
• The Feisty: When you want long, but not epic long
• The Happy Bovine: Proof that size doesn't matter (but fun does)

Gear tip: This is mixed-surface magic, folks. Think 38c-42c tires to handle everything from dusty washboard to buttery tarmac. Route details are still cooking, but one thing's for sure – there'll be dirt, there'll be climbing, and there'll be grins wider than a cow's tail.
