Brother Cycles Big 'Un Gravel Weekender

The Big ‘Un is back for 2025!

Run by Kent-based Brother Cycles, the main feature of the event is a challenging one-day gravel ride starting and finishing at Brother HQ – with fresh coffee at the start, food and drink at the finish and a private site to camp-out for the weekend should you want to.

The original route is 115km with an even bigger route of over 140km for those that feel up to it!

"The route, created through many hours of exploring our local trails, will lead you up and over the stunning North Downs as you’re treated to some of Kent’s finest bridleways, byways, forest tracks and country lanes," say Brother Cycles.

"Over 50% of the route is off-road with plenty of this on fun and flowy single-track, so prepare yourself for an exciting day in the saddle!

"This will be a challenging one day ride so don’t underestimate it, especially if the weather’s been bad. However, it’s well worth the effort as you get to enjoy some of our favourite places to ride, incredible views and some well earned coffee, food and pub stops along the way."
