WAHOOLIGAN Ride 2026: Gravel Riding and the Cycling Community

The WAHOOLIGAN event, now an annual tradition at Velonova, took place on October 11 this year. Gravel cycling enthusiasts came together for a day of riding, catching up and enjoying time on their bikes. This year's ride brought a proper autumn challenge – plenty of mud, wet roads and soaked cycling kit.

As every year, WAHOOLIGAN participants headed out for a group ride around Vilnius. This year's 52 km route was muddier than usual, and riders returned to Velonova soaked through and covered in mud, but still in good spirits. Afterwards, snacks, drinks and a chance to relax and share stories from the ride were waiting for them.

Participants also received gifts from our partner Wahoo. Despite the autumn weather, WAHOOLIGAN once again brought the cycling community together and continued Velonova's annual tradition of autumn group rides.

Thank you to everyone who joined WAHOOLIGAN 2026 and braved the autumn conditions! We would also like to thank our event partners Wahoo and Carlsberg Nealkoholinis for their support. See you on the next ride!
