The course
The 129 km Esperto course of the River City Gravel Fondo, a gravel loop from Snowden Camp Road in Campbell River, north of Campbell Lake.
The River City Gravel Fondo, the second stop of the BC Gravel Series, runs on Sunday, April 18, 2027. The start is at PRT Growing Services on Snowden Camp Road in Campbell River, British Columbia. The Esperto loop climbs the Snowden forest road — the main climb, about 236 metres between km 5 and km 16 — then runs on Brewster Lake Road, Menzies Main, Paterson Lake Road, Boot South Main and Boot East Main, north of Campbell Lake, before returning on Campbell Lake Road, Gosling Main and Brewster Lake Road. The highest point is at 304 metres. This is the exact route plotted here — every turn at its precise intersection.

Why This Ride
The River City Gravel Fondo is North Vancouver Island gravel: fast, rolling forest roads and great views north of Campbell Lake. Here, it's the Esperto, the big 129 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.
