This is another #newevent for 2026. Looking for new places to ride and driving around the place for my job gave me the inspiration for this one. I've diligently researched a host of maps and resources to deliver a well-rounded route based out of Sherwood Pines. It's not too heavy on technicality, distance or elevation. … Continue reading The Sherwood Shakedown
In a slight change from the normal Gravelton format The Arrow Valley Allroad is new and longer route for 2026 with a bigger tarmac to gravel ratio to gobble up the miles. Starting and finishing in Arrow Valley Park, Redditch the route uses traffic-free routes and some not-so-technical offroad sections to keep riders on their … Continue reading The Arrow Valley Allroad

The backbone of the route still uses … Continue reading Ironbridge Gorgeous

Routemaster Ed has conjured up a gravel classic in … Continue reading The Brampton Valley Bash

Gone is the brutal hike-a-bike finish up Stanton and a new route to the top of Bredon Hill beckons. The Broadway Grinder is a punchy foray up and down the Cotswold escarpent … Continue reading The Broadway Grinder
We return to The National Forest Explorer again to end the 2026 season and because the route is so good, it remains unchanged. The 2024 event was pivotal for Gravelton Events. A big turnout that day was the catalyst for making 2025 the best season yet for rider numbers. Leicestershire is littered with interconnecting trails, … Continue reading The National Forest Explorer
I resurrected The Crimble Bimble in 2025 to great success. Over 50 riders turned out. The format worked so we'll do it again. Again, I've deliberately kept the distance and climbing low to keep it social. We'll roll at a social pace regrouping at the end of the Greenway and at the top of the … Continue reading The Crimble Bimble
