If you love cycling, there is one event you simply cannot miss in 2026. The Sea Otter Europe cycling festival in Girona is returning for another spectacular edition. It promises three days of racing, exhibitions, community, and outdoor adventure. Whether you are a competitive athlete or a casual rider, this festival has something extraordinary waiting for you.

There is one event on the cycling calendar that makes bike lovers stop everything and book their flights. It happens every August in Portland, Oregon and smells like fresh steel tubes and chain grease. It sounds like the hum of thousands of conversations between people who care deeply about the art and craft of building bicycles. And in 2026, it is coming back bigger than ever.

Picture the world’s best cyclists tackling steep Montreal streets, the crowd roaring as the peloton surges up the legendary Côte Camilien-Houde for the fifteenth time. That is exactly what awaits on Sunday, September 13, 2026, when the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal returns for its 15th edition. As one of only two UCI WorldTour races on North American soil, this event carries extraordinary weight in the global cycling calendar. Furthermore, 2026 is no ordinary year. With the UCI Road World Championships arriving in Montreal just one week later, the GP Montréal becomes the most strategically loaded one-day race on the continent. Riders, teams, and fans all have far more riding on this race than the result alone.

The cycling world is counting down to one of the most exciting events in the sport’s calendar. The UCI Road World Championships 2026 will take place in Montréal, Canada, from September 20 to 27, 2026. This edition marks the 99th running of the event and promises to be a spectacular week of racing. Additionally, it will be the biggest sporting event held in Montréal since the 1976 Olympic Games.
