The course
The 2026 122 km course, starting and finishing in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, along the river on the Chemin du Roy.
The start is in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures. The ride heads west on the Chemin du Roy (Route 138), along the river, through Neuville, Donnacona, Cap-Santé and Deschambault-Grondines. It then comes back inland through Portneuf, Saint-Basile and Pont-Rouge — the main climb, about 60 metres between km 82 and km 87 — before rolling back down to Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures for the finish. This is the exact route plotted here — every turn at its precise intersection.

Why This Ride
A gran fondo is a whole day on the bike, prepared for months. Here, it's the Chemin du Roy along the river, then the way back through the back roads of Portneuf. Your ride, 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.
