The Peaky Finder returns for 2026 with a fresh take on a classic course. The scenery is epic but at this time of year it can be bitterly cold and exposed. It's remote too in places so dress appropriately. The Peak District is a great part of the world to ride a gravel bike. The … Continue reading The Peaky Finder
This is a #newevent for 2026 presented in collaboration with local rider Simon. A rather punchy affair born from the success of The Broadway Grinder last October. Expect some tough climbs, exhilerating descents and some of the best gravel in the Cotswolds is guaranteed! It's a fabulous area to ride a bike and routemaster Simon … Continue reading The Winchcombe Wanderer
For 2026, I've dialled the distance back a touch taking out the loop through Shugborough Estate. The bulk of the route is still inspired by an original supplied by Ed B but don't be fooled by the distance or elevation. As I found out last year, riding around The Chase is hard work and your … Continue reading The Cannock Chaser
This is the BIG one! No less than two #newevents. The idea is simple. Showcase the best gravel around the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley on the same weekend based out of the same start/finish. Riders tackle the Forest of Dean on Saturday and then the Wye Valley on Sunday. These are two … Continue reading The Gravelton Gravel Weekender
Wyre We Riding is back for 2026 with the updated route first launched last year featuring the only summit finish of the season atop Clent to keep things spicy. It just wouldn’t be right to ignore the Wyre Forest on a gravel bike and, in my opinion, getting there includes some of the best towpath … Continue reading Wyre We Riding
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
After finally getting this ride on the calendar last year I was overwhelmed by the positive reaction it received. For 2026, it would have been easy to just to keep the route the same or reverse it but I've actually found us even more new gravel to ride. The backbone of the route still uses … Continue reading Ironbridge Gorgeous
The Brampton Valley Bash returns for 2026 after a successful opener last season. This was the only route I couldn't ride last year due to illness so I'm really keen to return and give it the go it deserves so I've selfishly left the route unchanged. Routemaster Ed has conjured up a gravel classic in … Continue reading The Brampton Valley Bash
After a successful inaugral event in 2025, the route has been amended to take a bit of technique out of the technical climbs. 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 … Continue reading The Crimble Bimble
