  • This video contains product placement from Genesis Bikes. In this episode of Gravel Diaries, we are going to be riding a lap of our city, Bristol, with as much off-road as possible. The route is 100km long, with 1200 meters of climbing.
    This is an iconic route put together by BikeRadar’s good friend Katherine Moore. We’ll be chatting to her before we start about what to look out for en route.
    Though we’re not near any mountains, this route is harder than you might expect. Both Robyn and Jack have attempted it on separate occasions, and had to abandon half way, though it is worth noting that both of these attempts were in the muddiest of winters.
    We all live and work in Bristol and it’s a really great city. But today we are going to see it from a totally different perspective, and prove you don’t have to go far to reach a green spaces or to have an adventure.
    What do you think? Does your city have a 360 challenge? Let us know in the comments!

      Cool route!
      The city I live in is WAY too big for a 360, but there are cool gravel loops that do a close enough job.

      Sheffield has plenty of woodland, parks, bridleways and byways to offer up an awesome gravel 360, without even getting into the peak proper. Get thee sens up thar.

      @@bikeradar Ask away if you want some suggestions for a Sheff loop. There's a lovely long woodland stretch that used to be part of my commute from Oughtibridge to Deepcar; not that far from where Steve Peat hosts his annual DH race in Greno Woods.

    I got up and did the Northern 40 miles of this route yesterday. It was an amazing section. Too much rain previously to cross the river which wasn't a bad thing. It was fresh to say the least

    We skipped the Dundry descent and pushed sections of Queen Charlton bridleway. Hard-core isn't gravel🤣

    Looks like you needed hardtail 29ers for some of your route in the video....Looked excellently non gravel in places though = fun.
    Peterborough (UK) is great for 80% off-road for gravel bikes around the city in a 15 mile radius....fairly flat bridleways/byways/gravel/farm tracks and field edges but a 50 miler is easy (with not a lot of tarmac involved).
    If anyone's from this area then Strava myself, Steve Hlinka (not a misspelt name either) for an idea.
