“Continental is scaling up its commitment to the gravel segment for the 2026 season. Together with the Gravel Club and the platform grouprides.cc, the tire manufacturer is launching two formats built around the spirit of adventure and the love of gravel riding – both putting the community experience front and center. The twist: both formats give riders the chance to win exclusive prizes that aren’t for sale anywhere else.”
Continental Gravel Club Tour 2026: a rideout series at 12 stops across Germany
“From April through October, the Continental Gravel Club Tour will travel across Germany for the first time. At 12 stops, riders can look forward to two-day gravel events featuring after-work rides on Fridays and big community rides on Saturdays. The routes roll through some of the country’s best gravel regions – from Hannover to Cologne, Munich and Berlin. The grand finale takes place on October 10th at the Contidrom, Continental’s in-house test track north of Hannover.”
“The focus is on riding for the fun of it, not performance: relaxed group rides, scenic routes, local hotspots – rounded off with drinks, good food and plenty of conversation.”
“Ride and win: among all participants holding a regular tour ticket, Continental is raffling off a trip for two to the finale of the Tour de France 2027 in Paris, including VIP access and a high-end supporting program.”

“Lead in the Unknown” – the Continental challenge on grouprides.cc
“Running alongside the Continental Gravel Club Tour, Continental is launching the “Lead in the Unknown” ride challenge on the platform grouprides.cc. The series calls on gravel fans to step out of their comfort zone and discover new routes together – from Braunschweig to Stuttgart, Vienna and beyond.”
“The highlight: anyone who books and completes four rides of their choice via grouprides.cc is automatically entered into the prize draw. The main prize: a total of four hand-signed and framed Tadej Pogačar jerseys – exclusive collector’s pieces that aren’t available for sale.”
Worth noting: the “Lead in the Unknown” challenge accompanies the launch of Continental’s new high-performance gravel tire, the Terra Competition, pairing demanding rideouts with adventure and genuine community spirit.

Continental meets Community: experiencing Gravel Together
“We don’t just want to sell tires – we want to be where gravel happens,” says Marco Buhl, Regional Sales Manager EMEA at Continental. “With the Gravel Club Tour, we’re bringing 12 German cities together; with the challenge on grouprides.cc, we’re going Europe-wide. The goal is the same in both: getting people out on their bikes, riding together, discovering new routes. And along the way, showing what our tires can really do on gravel.”
