Full description
Your sportive on a poster: the event name in big letters, the date, your exact route on the map with distance markers, then your name, the distance, the elevation gain, your time, your average speed and your race number, with the event’s elevation profile along the bottom. A keepsake of a first sportive or a gran fondo, or a gift for the rider who pedalled all winter.
The route comes from your bike computer or app: upload the GPX file, or connect your Strava account and pick the ride. Distance and elevation are those of your route — you can write the event’s official distance if it differs — and your average speed is worked out from your time. Nine styles and a dedication if you like; the preview follows every change you make, and that is what goes to print.
- 250 g matte paper, pigment inks, printed to order.
- Five sizes: A4, 30 × 40, 40 × 60, 50 × 70 and 70 × 100 cm.
- Optional wooden frame on the A4 and 30 × 40, black, white or natural.
- Or the print-ready file: all five sizes, each as PDF and 300 dpi PNG, by download link.

How it works
- Bring your track
A GPX file from your watch or app, from which distance, time and elevation gain are computed, or a route from our library, with its distance.
- Frame it, pick a style and your text
The track on the map, exactly where it happened. Nine styles, a title, a subtitle, a dedication, the line of figures. Always portrait: what you see is what gets printed.
- We print in Aveyron
To order, on 250 g matte paper: in our Aveyron workshop, whatever the size, and every poster is checked there before it ships. Or you receive the download link for the file by e-mail.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the route come from?
From your ride, as your bike computer recorded it: upload the GPX file of the ride (exported from Garmin Connect, Hammerhead, Polar Flow, Komoot, Strava…) or connect your Strava account and pick the ride. There is no library of sportives: their route changes from one year to the next, and it is yours that gets printed.
Which distance and elevation are printed?
The ones from your route: the distance rounded to the kilometre, and the elevation gain worked out from the altitudes in the file — or, with Strava, the figures Strava shows you. If the event advertises 130 km and your computer measured 128, write the official distance: it takes precedence, and your average speed is worked out from it. Two devices never measure the same elevation (barometer or GPS): the one in your file is the one printed.
Which time and speed are printed?
The time you write, as h:mm:ss: preferably your official time, as it appears in the event results. When the field is empty, the editor suggests the elapsed time from the GPX file or from Strava. The average speed is the distance divided by that time, feed-station stops included, so it is a little lower than the one on your bike computer, which leaves the stops out. It is recalculated as you type.
What do you do with my GPX file or my Strava account?
The GPX file is read in your browser and never sent to our servers. With Strava, we read the list of your activities and the route of the one you choose, then revoke our access to your Strava account as soon as the route is imported. In both cases only the simplified route, the elevation profile and the figures go with the order.
Can I put the name of my sportive on it?
Yes: it is a free-text field of up to forty characters, with the date underneath. You write the name of the event you rode; we print no organiser logo and no event name of our own — the poster carries what you put on it.
Can I give it as a gift if I’m not the rider?
Yes, as long as you have their route: ask them for the GPX file of their ride (on the Strava website on a computer: the activity’s “…” menu, then “Export GPX”) and upload it in the editor. Their name, time and race number are in the results published by the organisers. Without their route, the poster would print our example course.
Which sizes and frames?
A4, 30 × 40, 40 × 60, 50 × 70 and 70 × 100 cm: standard frame sizes, easy to find. Optional wooden frame on the A4 and 30 × 40, in black, white or natural, with acrylic glass; the larger sizes ship rolled, to frame at home.
What paper is the poster printed on?
250 g/m² satin matte paper, lightfast pigment inks. Printed to order in our workshop in Aveyron, whatever the size. Shipped rolled, in a sturdy long cardboard box; the A4 travels flat, in a stiff card envelope.
Can I get the file instead of the poster?
Yes. The print-ready file contains all five sizes, each as a PDF and as a 300 dpi PNG — ten files in all, supplied through a download link sent after payment, to print wherever you like.
How long does it take?
Printed within 48 hours, then delivered to your home or a pickup point — the 50 × 70 and 70 × 100 can only be delivered to your home. Allow a week in France and ten days elsewhere in the European Union. The download link for the print-ready file is sent the same day.
