- Continental is planning a twelve-part gravel tour in Germany plus a Europe-wide challenge with Gravel Club and grouprides.cc in 2026.
- The Gravel Club Tour offers two-day events without a racing character, costs 37 euros and includes catering, a goodie bag and GPX routes.
- At the same time, "Lead in the Unknown" on grouprides.cc offers a prize draw for Pogačar jerseys; the main prize of the tour is a trip to Paris for the 2027 TdF final.

Continental Gravel Club Tour: Events throughout Germany

- TOUR Transalp 2026: seven stages, approx. 750 km, 17,000 metres in altitude, 15 passes from Lienz to Riva del Garda, with a new route every year.  
- As an alternative to the overall distance, there is a 3-day challenge (approx. 350 km, 6,000 metres in altitude) and a 4-day challenge (approx. 500 km, 8,000 metres in altitude).  
- Suitable for ambitious cyclists of all abilities; success is based on a steady pace, nutrition, regeneration and technically clean descents.

- High prize money in e-cycling and gravel sport blurs the boundaries between professional and amateur cycling and sometimes exceeds UCI bonuses.
- MyWhoosh and events in the Gulf States and the USA use prize money as a marketing and tourism tool and attract international starters.
- Equal prize money for men and women promotes women's cycling in particular; teams such as Champ Bullies are financed entirely through e-racing premiums.

- On 12 September 2026, the 120 km long Vätternrundan Gravel in Motala will take place for the first time without timekeeping and ranking.

- Basic equipment is sufficient for the first triathlon: swimming goggles, swimwear/tri-suit, swimming cap, roadworthy bike, helmet, water bottle, running shoes, towel, race number tape.  
- Additional equipment such as a wetsuit, cycling goggles and mini puncture kit increases comfort, safety and freedom from stress, but is not essential.  
- Expensive high-end gadgets such as aero helmets, carbon wheels or wattmeters are not necessary for the first triathlon and only bring limited benefits.
