Spooktacular 100k Halloween Gravel Ride

What’s that we hear? There’s no cyclocross less than 2 hours’ drive away. Why not convert your ‘cross bike into a gravel bike by pumping up the tyres a bit harder and join us for our 100km gravel ride.

Our spooktacular 100k Halloween gravel ride on Sunday 31st October will head out from Harborough early enough to get back for trick or treating later. It’s going to be fangtastic. You might hear the creak of rusty hinges followed by heavy boot steps in the gravel – when we have to open gates. Fancy dress is optional. You will need lights for the spooky bat infested tunnels on the Brampton Valley Way.

Don’t be a lazy bones, trick or treat yourself.

We plan to meet at 7.30am (taking advantage of the clocks going back the night before) at the top of the Brampton Valley Way on Scotland Road in Little Bowden – even the What3Words location is creepy –  ///repeated.almost.thudding .

This will be an unsupported club ride for WVCC members and friends from other local clubs. It is intended to be suitable for all off-road bikes from ‘cross bikes to gravel and mountain bikes.

Please let us know if you’re coming – ideally through our off-road WhatsApp group – so we can arrange additional ride groups by speed and bike type as appropriate. To be added to our off-road WhatsApp group please message Adrian Killworth or email your mobile number to offroad@wellandvalleycc.co.uk
