On Saturday, May 30, the TDF Club hosted an exceptional Social Ride in Troyes, in partnership with Shimano, to celebrate REBOUND, the world’s largest gravel challenge organized by our official partner. Starting from the Cycles Chailley Troyes store , part of the Shimano Service Center network and an official Tour de France store, more than 30 cyclists gathered for a 90-kilometer adventure across the roads and white gravel paths of the Aube region.
Between gravel sections, rolling country roads, and rides through the region’s iconic Champagne vineyards, participants enjoyed the perfect playground in a friendly and passionate atmosphere, true to the spirit of the TDF Club Social Rides.
For the occasion, Cycles Chailley went all in with a full cycling weekend, also organizing a night gravel ride on Friday evening, followed by the road ride on Saturday.
The day was beautifully captured by local photographer Benjamin Riquement, who documented the highlights of this memorable ride through the Aube countryside.
As tradition goes, the ride ended with a Tour de France prize draw, featuring a full Santini kit, a pair of Oakley sunglasses, and two VIP accesses to a 2026 Tour de France finish. Another successful event for the TDF Club, combining adventure, discovery, and a shared passion for cycling in the heart of the Aube landscapes.
