Questions
Before you order
What the poster is, how it's made, and what happens after you buy one. If something isn't answered here, email us. A person reads it.
- What sizes do the posters come in?
- 12 × 18″, 16 × 24″, 18 × 24″, 24 × 36″. Prints run from $69 unframed up to $249 for the largest framed size. Every size is offered unframed, in a black frame, or in a natural wood frame, and the price for each is shown as you choose.
- Is the route on the poster the actual course?
- Yes. Every route is drawn from that race's own GPX file, not traced or approximated. Each turn on the poster is a turn you took, and the elevation profile along the bottom is the climbing you actually did. Where a race reroutes from one year to the next, that year is drawn separately, and you pick the edition you rode.
- What can I put on the poster?
- Your name, bib number, finishing place, finish time, average speed, average power, normalized power, and the temperature, wind, and weather you rode in. Fill in what you have and leave the rest blank. The stat row rebalances itself around whatever you enter, so a partly filled poster still reads as designed. The preview updates as you type, and what you see there is what prints.
- Can I have the poster in kilometers instead of miles?
- Yes, and the switch covers the whole poster rather than only your stats. The elevation profile's distance axis and the total climbing figure are redrawn in kilometers and meters too, so a metric print doesn't contradict itself halfway down.
- What is it printed on?
- Heavyweight archival paper, printed to order. Nothing is warehoused, so your poster is made after you buy it. Framed prints ship ready to hang.
- Where do you ship, and what does it cost?
- Worldwide. Shipping is quoted for your own country before you pay, so the total at checkout is the total. You'll get an email confirming the order, and a second one with tracking when it ships.
- How do I check on an order I've already placed?
- Use the order code from your confirmation email, together with the email address you ordered with, on the Track Your Order page. The status there is pulled from the printer directly, so it reflects where your poster actually is.
- My race isn't listed. Can you draw it?
- Ask. Most of the races here were added because somebody wrote in. Email hello@gravelraceprints.com with the race and the year you rode, and if the route data exists we can usually draw it.
- Can I cancel my order?
- Yes, for a full refund, right up until the poster goes to the press. Open your order page, enter your order number and email, and choose to cancel. We email you a link to confirm it was really you. The window is short because nothing is warehoused. Your poster is made after you buy it, so it reaches the press within hours and sometimes within minutes.
- Can I return a poster after it arrives?
- Not for a change of mind. Every poster is made to order with your name and your numbers on it, so nobody else can buy the one we printed for you. That is what the cancellation window before printing is for. If it arrives damaged or wrong, that is different and we will fix it.
- Something arrived damaged or wrong. What now?
- Email hello@gravelraceprints.com with your order code and a photo of the problem. We reprint it or refund it, whichever you prefer. There is more detail on the cancellations and returns page.
- Are you affiliated with the races?
- No. These are independently made posters of public race routes, sold by us and not by the events. Race names are used only to say which course is drawn. They belong to their organizers.
