UK Gravel Events
Gravel, CX, All Road, Adventure – ‘go anywhere’ is the new normal in cycling. CX Sportive events are the original mixed surface rides for any bike, any rider!
We are following the official government and scientific advice during the Coronavirus outbreak and will only be going ahead with events based on that advice. The current strict lockdown advice prevents us from proceeding with any events for the time being; we are currently in the process of rescheduling affected events for later in the year, and are making ongoing decisions as the situation develops. Please see individual event pages for announcements regarding that event. We will continue to monitor the advice and will update this information accordingly.
If you have already entered an event with us that may be affected by the current situation, you will be emailed as soon as possible with advice about your booking. Please bear with us, we are working as hard as we can to keep everyone informed during these exceptional and fast changing circumstances. We won't miss you out!
Welcome to CX Sportive
Cycling is changing! For years, it’s been all about what type of rider you were, what kind of bike you needed for what kind of terrain.
Not any more! Do anything bikes and a ride everything attitude are cycling’s new rock and roll, and that’s what CX Sportive events are all about!
All terrain, all bikes, all riders!
Where the road runs out, CX Sportive events keep going!
Join the Gravel Revolution!
Heard about Gravel Bikes, but wondering exactly what they’re for? The answer is – pretty much anything you want! A Gravel Bike is just a road/cyclocross style bike, redesigned to go further and faster, whether you’re on dirt, tarmac, grass, grit or, yes, even gravel!
It’s that simple, and so are our events! It’s just about riding, no limits, no preconceptions, just ride! And it doesn’t matter what you ride – the CX/Gravel revolution inspired us, but our rides are just as much fun on a 29er or 27.5 MTB, or even on your classic, old skool hardtail!
