25th Nov ASSOS Gravel ride with London’s Bicycle Film Festiv
Posted: Mon Nov 05, 2018 6:49 pm
75 km loop from Deptford.
Check points and all sorts of nonsense. Bet there will even be mud and tyre choice dilemmas...(not guaranteed) and films about bikes and cycling after.
Official blurb below:
Here at ASSOS LDN we are particularly excited to be supporting the Bicycle Film Festival's Gravel Ride and we hope that as many of you will join us as possible!
All of the information and how to register can be found over on this sign-up website: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bicycle-fi ... 1557008400
But here's a brief run-through of the most important things to know about this very cool ride.:
1. You need to sign up for this Gravel Ride. It's free, but donations to the air ambulance are welcomed.
2. You'll go south into Kent on bike paths, country lanes, singletrack and farm tracks. It could be muddy, it will most definitely be fun.
3. It's roughly 75 km, with about a 50/50 split of tarmac and off-road terrain – gravel or CX, recommended minimum tire width is 30c. You'll set off in groups of 8 at 10 minute intervals.
4. There are checkpoints on route that you'll need to collect stamps at – then, of course, there's the prize ceremony before the films are shown at 14.00. There are a ton of great prizes, including a frame from Brothers Cycles.
The ride organisers have done a sterling job sorting out the logistics...
