📸 Sneak Peek! Tour de Gap 2026 Photos Are Coming! 🚴☀️

We've had the chance to look through a handful of the photos from this year's Tour de Gap, and wow... Sierra Lynn Photography absolutely knocked it out of the park! 🤩

Over the course of the event, more than 4,300 photos were captured, documenting everything from the beautiful sunrise start to the Bell Plains Rd Climb, the flyover, volunteers, rest stops, and countless smiles along the way.

As you can imagine, sorting through, editing, and organizing that many photos takes time, so we sincerely appreciate everyone's patience while Sierra works her magic.

In the meantime, here's a small sneak peek of what's to come! 👀📷

As soon as the full gallery is available, we'll share the link here on Facebook and send it out by email to all registered participants.

Stay tuned... we can't wait for you to relive an incredible day on the bike! 🚴💙❤️
