The course
The 2026 135 km course, starting and finishing in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, through Farnham, Cowansville and Dunham.
The start is in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, on June 13, 2026. The loop heads east through Mont-Saint-Grégoire, Farnham and Ange-Gardien, then climbs gently into the Eastern Townships through Saint-Alphonse-de-Granby and Brigham — the main climb, about 40 metres between km 56 and km 66 — to Cowansville and Dunham. It comes back through Saint-Ignace-de-Stanbridge, Notre-Dame-de-Stanbridge and Saint-Alexandre to Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. This is the exact route plotted here — every turn at its precise intersection.

Why This Ride
La Boucle is a whole day on the bike, often as a team, for a cause that matters. Here, it's the country roads between the Richelieu and the Eastern Townships. 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.
