Introducing The Dirty Phil, Canada’s Premier Gravel Fondo

Registration now open for mixed terrain ride from Kelowna, BC to Penticton, BC

Registration is now open for you to join me on Saturday, June 17, 2017, in my neck of the woods, Kelowna, British Columbia for The Dirty Phil. It’s Canada’s Premier Gravel Fondo (if I don’t say so myself) and it’s going to be a throwback to the days when you rode your bike for the pure joy of riding your bike. To me, that’s every day. If you want to test your legs, test your banter and have some fun on gravel, this is the event for you.

The guys at NTSQ Sports have been bugging me to get involved in an event for a while and when they finally offered to name it after me, I agreed. Depending on your expertise, you can ride The Little Phil (100km with 1343m of elevation) or The Big Phil (171km with 2090m of elevation). Whichever one you choose, you’re going to have fun. How do I know? Because, whichever Phil. you choose you’ll ride mixed terrain including smooth fire trails, single track, pavement, grass and dirt!

And that’s not to mention the complimentary food and beer at the pre- and post-race parties. I’ll make a fashionably late entrance, I promise.

Usually, here I’d insert a quote from NTSQ Sports founder Travis McKenzie, but I’m going to quote Dirty Phil. (myself) instead. “This event is about capturing the unbridled joy we all experience when we ride our bikes. From the time you arrive, the focus is on the rider experience, because it is you, the riders, that make the event,” says Dirty Phil. “I believe in this race so much that I let the trail go past my house” he adds.

You’ll have to hurry, as registration is limited and it will sell out. Sign up at www.dirtyphil.com

Even if you can’t make it, make sure you visit the website and sign up to my Christmas Card list. You won’t regret it.
