The Brampton Valley Bash
September 20 @ 10:00 am
Intro
The Brampton Valley Bash is another #newevent for 2025. Routemaster Ed has conjured up a classic in an area Gravelton hasn’t ventured before. Spanning two counties, this one packs in a real mixed bag of terrain to enjoy. Definitely one I’m really looking forward too.
The Event
Gravelton Events are not official or sanctioned. They are self-supported group rides. Same route, same day. It’s just you, your bike and your mates having fun.
All we ask is you share your ride with everyone else in the community.
How to Enter
Entry is FREE. Just turn up but I do recommend you subscribe to my newsletter to receive the latest route and event info.
The Route
The route initially heads out of Brixworth Country Park along the banks of Pitsford Water to Halcot then it’s northbound via Walgrave and Old to pick up The Brampton Valley Way to Market Harborough
**IMPORTANT**
Lights required for two tunnels you’ll be riding through
Riders have refreshment opportunities before they jump on the Grand Union Canal on the otherside of town. It’s off at Debdale Wharf then westbound through Gumley to Laughton. From here riders turn southbound for home enjoying a curated selection of byways en-route back onto The Brampton Valley Way southbound skirting Blixworth before a detour NW back to the start.
