Kings Cup British Gravel Championships 2021

The Kings Cup Gravel Race

With the Gravel Bike scene exploding in the UK at the moment we loaded up the team van with riders, bikes and kit and headed to the inaugural British National Gravel Championships, The Kings Cup this past weekend.

It was held at Wideham Farm/Kings Forest near Bury St Edmunds and consisted of 3x 23km lap around the forest on varied surfaces including gravel, grass and sand. The event was exceptionally well organised throughout and as a team, we can’t wait to attend again next year.
