North London Dirt 3

After a second sell out event last summer we thought we’d bring back the graveltastic North London Dirt for 2020 AND continue to raise more money for the St Mary’s Community Centre in London N16.

North London Dirt 3 features a brand new 70-ish mile route running out of North East London taking in as many back roads, dirt tracks and gravel paths as we’ve been able to fit in. It is not a hand-holding sportive, there are no signs telling you which way to go, no tables full of battered banana halves and yup, no oversized t-shirt to collect at the end!

But you will enjoy mighty fine coffee to start, a new and unique route AND a locally brewed beer waiting for you at the end. Entry for all this is only £22.

Canyon Bikes are on board too! Bringing awesome bikes, tune up area and a feed stop. More details to come!

Pedal for good!

North London Dirt is again raising funds for the New St Mary’s Centre in Stoke Newington (that houses, amongst other things, the Hackney Night Shelter, the Hackney Migrant Centre and the local food bank). Since the last event, the building has ALMOST been rebuilt (it will be finished before the event!).

ALL of the proceeds from the event will go to this local charity.

We’ve decided on a no-refunds policy for this event. As it’s a fundraiser, we’d hope that people not making it on the day will be happy to sit back a feel good about making a donation either way.

What bike do I need to ride North London Dirt?

You should ride a bike with tyres suitable for road AND off-road – bearing in mind you’d be pushing it a bit with slick narrow tyres on some of the dirt tracks. You will need to be totally self-supported, riding with everything you need to finish a ride of this length and we’d suggest carrying two spare tubes. We’ll send out a GPX and TCX file a few days before the event to entrants, so you’ll have time to load-up a GPS. Remember – there will be no signage so some kind of GPS / phone for navigation is essential.

DISCLAIMER! This is the bit where we say: We, the organisers have no responsibility for riders or bikes in any way on this event.

Good riding, good coffee, good beer…

AND you’re doing your bit for charity.
