The course
The 2026 90 km Full Fondo course of the Cowichan Crusher, a gravel loop from Mesachie Lake, south of Cowichan Lake, on Vancouver Island.
The 2026 Cowichan Crusher was raced on May 31, starting in Mesachie Lake, British Columbia. The Full Fondo loop heads out on South Shore Road and Ashburnham Main to Honeymoon Bay, then climbs Gordon River Road — the main climb, about 312 metres between km 10 and km 21 — and continues on Loup Creek Road, McClure Main and Caycuse Main, south of Cowichan Lake; the highest point is at 547 metres. It returns on South Shore Road and Gordon River Road to Mesachie Lake. This is the exact route plotted here — every turn at its precise intersection.

Why This Ride
The Cowichan Crusher is Cowichan Valley gravel: steep forest roads around Cowichan Lake. Here, it's the Full Fondo, the big 90 km loop. Your race, preserved in ink, one line at a time.
Make the Achievement Yours
Add a name, finish time or short dedication to turn the artwork into a personal record of the work behind the medal. Personalization is optional; leave the field blank for the original composition.
How It Is Made
The composition, hierarchy and final linework are directed by a person. A pen plotter then draws the artwork physically, line by line, with ink on paper. Small production variations can occur during physical plotting.
Plotted by a robot. Designed by a person.
