Gravel/CX MTB bikes | 1 day Charity Gravel Adventure | Fully Supported | 66miles/106km
“Hands down the best off-road sportive I’ve done. Trails I simply didn’t know existed so close to South London. Challenging for seasoned riders but accessible for those new to the discipline. See you there again next year!”
James K. London.
and I didn't have to bribe him!
So grab your chance to explore some of the amazing gravel trails south of the river, the route is just over 100km, 65% of which is off-road over half of which is off-road on a massive assortment of trails, paths, tracks and quiet roads.
Quite apart from the fantastic riding, there’s the opportunity to explore some oft-overlooked sights from England’s oldest grotto, a medieval map to Purgatory and Epsom racecourse - there's something for everyone!
Meet at 9 am at the Velodrome for coffee before setting off, there's a comprehensive feed station halfway around and a beer and pizza when you get back to the Velodrome.
