The Family and Fun courses are an opportunity to get started with gravel riding, whilst the Challenge Event is for fitter riders or those with some gravel or off-road experience.

All courses are based around the Forestry England site of Grizedale Forest which has a full range of facilities. You will find parking, toilets and, of course, a cafe for that all important post-ride coffee and cake.
