The Tardebig-G

Gravelton events are FREE to enter gravel rides based in the West Midlands and North Worcestershire.

They are self-supported social rides. Riding in groups is encouraged.

This is the third event in my Gravelton series. This one is a nice and simple out and back 60km dash to Worcester with a little test at the end as riders will ascend the longest flight of locks in the UK at Tardebigge. Thats 30 locks in 3.5km. Woof!

It’s a downhill start all the way to Worcester along the Birmingham – Worcester Canal on, for the most part, decent towpath. It gets remote in places and boasts great views along the canal and in the shadow of Worcester Cathedral in the city too.

THE RIDE

The ride is not an official event, it’s a self-supported group ride on the same route on the same day. You are on your own. Just rock up and ride with your mates and enjoy the day out on your bike then a pint and some pub grub afterwards.

Ride whatever bike you want. Just have fun.
