Send yourself to Gravel Camp in 2025!
We are very excited to announce a new event series for 2025, designed for riders looking to up their endurance gravel racing game! Gravel Camp will help participants gain confidence, get hands on experience and learn from experienced racers, all from our farm-stay cycling retreat in the Almaguin Highlands.
Up your game, build community and confidence for your next big goal -- go to gravel camp this summer!
Featuring Julie Toole and Adam Hill as your 'camp counsellors'
Two separate retreat weekends, each featuring an incredible facilitator! We wanted to create an opportunity for Julie and Adam to share what they have learned from years of riding and training and countless endurance race events - and they are eager to share their knowledge.
Each weekend will provide multiple on-bike sessions and ample opportunity for Julie and Adam to share their knowledge; covering training, race fuel & strategy, gear and maintenance.

Facilitator Bios
A note from Rob at Missing Link Adventure Tours - I reached out to Julie and Adam shortly after the 8 hour Hurtin In Haliburton event in 2024, where they had both claimed their 4th consecutive titles, putting in 216km and 243km efforts respectively! Based on their experience and consistent performance at this race alone, I would be happy to support them in being a facilitator for an Endurance Gravel Camp, however, their experience goes WELL beyond this event. Both are working professionals balancing family and careers with their training and racing schedules. Both have competed at numerous endurance events, across disciplines and, luckily for us, both are excited to share their knowledge and experience with you!
We are looking forward to fostering knowledge sharing between local (Ontario) riders, on our local roads and sharing food from our farm with guests.
Julie Toole
Julie is the very proud mother to two teenage girls and a registered midwife working in health policy and bioethics, she also really enjoys an intense bike racing hobby :). Julie has long loved bikes, adventure and is regularly wowed by the marvels of nature around her. While Julie calls the trails of the Don Valley and the Leslie Spit in Toronto home, she loves to explore remote gravel in new areas pushing her limits for long days in the saddle. Julie loves playing the bike racing game (you’ll most often see her smiling in race photos!) and learning and experimenting in the sport. She absolutely loves helping other women and girls discover the joys of gravel riding and racing and gaining confidence through sport.
