Another year is drawing to a close, and it's been a big one for Café du Cycliste. We opened two new stores, in Paris and Munich, and celebrated a major victory with our gravel team, Numéro 31 par Café du Cycliste, as Hugo Drechou and Axelle Dubau-Prévôt both became inaugural French national gravel champions! Here’s a reminder of the best of this year’s Gazettes – dispatches from the road, trail and mountain that you may have missed.

Finally, our gravel champions won the first Gravel Burn, the biggest gravel stage race in the world from the creators of the Cape Epic!
