OUR UK GRAVEL EVENTS

The first and most iconic Gravel Event in the UK.

 

The Dirty Reiver attracts 2000 riders from around the World to ride the vast network of trails in Kielder Forest and the Northern English Borders.

Starting in the beautiful setting of the castle grounds, the event is suited to riders of all abilities from Tour de France pros to first time gravel riders. Kielder has gravel trails like nowhere else in the UK.

 

Distances vary from 65km to 200km for those wanting a challenge or a big day out on the bike.

 

The Dirty Reiver takes place in late April and is a great way to kick off the gravel cycling calendar for the year.

​

Gravel Rocks combines the three things that make gravel riding such a fast-growing sport - the adventure, the social interaction and a healthy smattering of competition.

​

Set in the North York Moors, this weekend event has multiple timed segments over two days. The combined times for these sections count for the podium.

 

In between the timed sections, riders have the chance to ride along socially and enjoy the chat. 

 

The Sunday is all about kicking back and taking part in our social rides.

JUST.GRAVEL brings you the best gravel riding in the southern Lake District, in collaboration with Forestry England.

 

It provides an ​opportunity for first-time gravel riders to get involved in a professionally organised event and experience the joy of organised social riding.

 

For regular gravel riders, the longer distance is a chance to explore the hidden corners of the forest and test yourself on more challenging terrain.​

 

JUST.GRAVEL is a fully inclusive event, with classes and distances for all riders, and guaranteed places for women and families. We offer a choice of three routes, all starting from the Grizedale Visitor Centre at the heart of the forest and the Lake District National Park.
