Kettle Mettle Gravel Fondo
October 18 - October 19
Set in the stunning Okanagan, Kettle Mettle Gravel Fondo is the oldest Gravel Fondo in Western Canada. And one could easily argue one of the most scenic and amazing gravel courses as well!
The Kettle Mettle Klassic showcases the historic nature of the Kettle Valley Trail and also showcase the amazing scenery of the Okanagan while also providing a scenic and challenging ride. This is a great event with a post celebration including a post event meal, cold beer, souvenir t-shirt, bottle of wine, and tons of draw prizes!
Choose from a 1-day fondo or an epic 2-day stage race.
