If distance is more your kind of thing than gnar, the UK’s first gravel race has been announced and may be for you. It’s taking place in April 2016, on a 200km course made of Kielder Forest fire roads straddling the Scotland-England border. Unless they announce gnarmac specific rules, there’s nothing to stop you doing it on your Orange Alpine if you really want to. Find out more and sign up for updates at www.dirtyreiver.co.uk.
