In case you have missed it, the Top of the Rock gravel sportive has returned for a second year. Make a note in your diary for 21st October, go online and enter now!

Based in Sutton Bank, North Yorkshire, Top Of The Rock is suitable for riders of all fitness and skill levels. Just choose one of the three distances:

  • Short – 27k
  • Medium 36k and
  • Long 60k.

If you haven’t ridden in the area before, there is lots on offer. Climbing, descending, trails aplenty and of course – weather! Every time we have ridden in the general area, we can’t wait to come back. If you are a North Yorkshire novice, make the effort – it’ll be a blast!

Heckling from locals is guaranteed.

Optimised for gravel or CX bikes, the trails will be absolutely fine for MTB hardtails too. Go on, get out there for one more event. Make it a last outing for your summer ‘form’ before winter closes in.

Full details, including how to get a free beer and t shirt can be found on the website.
