South Downs

Arran High School Arran High School, Lamlash, Scoltand

THE PERFECT PARTY-TO-RACE RATIO! Voted “Event of the Year” by the Design and Innovation Awards committee, Grinduro expanded into four countries in 2019. The unique format of Grinduro combines the best elements of a mountain bike enduro with a gravel grinder-style road race.

This is an exceptional event made possible by Giro Sport Design, Rapha, Maxxis and Fabric, with specific events hosted by Cannondale, Devinci and Canyon.

Ridgeway

Ridgeway 100

Chilton, Oxfordshire Chilton, Oxfordshire

The Ridgeway is Europe’s oldest continually used highway. Dating back thousands of years, this was a prehistorically important route, with many ancient landmarks along it’s length, and ending at the magnificent stone circles of Avebury (which predates Stonehenge by some 700 years). Today, the Ridgeway remains a popular recreational route, and a fantastic long distance off road trail! Faster paced and less extreme than the South Downs Way, the Ridgeway is a fantastic gravel bike ride and gives you plenty to get your teeth into. The route keeps you high up and offers continuous sweeping views, with just enough dips and diversions along the ridge to keep your climbing / descending muscles ticking over! The surface only occasionally gets semi-technical, leaving you with over 100km of very rideable trail to enjoy! It’s a ride that invites you to open up […]

FIFTY50 : A cycling event with a difference

Cafe Adventure Hannah Buildings, Edale Road, Hope, Hope Valley

Fifty50 by Velotastic The Fifty50 is an unsupported, unmarshalled adventure, exploring the quiet roads, byways and bridleways in the Hope Valley and surrounding area. With around 60 km of riding, the event is based on the reliability ride format, where not speed, but the ability to successfully complete an un-signed pre-determined route within the 6 hour time limit is the aim. The event is the similar in concept to our previous events. However this time we've added a little bit of a twist. Instead of us sending you a file for the route a few days before the event, when you arrive at the start you'll get a sealed envelope. Inside the envelope is a route map to a checkpoint that's roughly half way around the route. At the checkpoint you'll receive the other half of the route. Here's the […]
