Adventure Time - Launching the UK’s first Gravel Coast to Coast Route
With the exciting rise in gravel biking and e-biking in the UK, we thought this was the perfect time to introduce the UK’s first gravel coast to coast route.
The first route across the UK that’s over 95% off road, the gravel coast to coast route takes you on a spectacular journey from Ravenglass on the West Cumbrian Coast to Robin Hood’s Bay on Yorkshire’s rugged East coast, with some of the best gravel the UK has to offer.
Beau Smith, co-designer of the route with Robert Thorpe, editor of Pedal North, said: “At 365 km in total distance this ride is for any cyclist who wants to leave the traffic behind for an unforgettable off-road adventure on two wheels, with plenty of options to split the ride to suit your ambitions.”
From inspiring Eskdale in the west, through to the historic Roman Cam Road in the Yorkshire Dales and Wensleydale, the magnificent beauty of Jervaulx Abbey, onto Rosedale in the North York Moors, this route has something for everyone.
With stops designed at places such as Coniston, Windermere, Kendal, Sedbergh, Hawes, Northallerton and Rosedale, there’s also ample opportunity for cafes, accommodation and support, as you ride across the most beautiful parts of Northern England.
TotalMTB for me is a great organisation that helps give back to the mountain biking community. Helps bring awareness to something that most people can’t see within a friend or family member. Mental health is something to be mindful about. Health mind, health life.Blake Samson
Mountain biking is vital to my mental health, and I think it's rad how TotalMTB is spreading their message and building a community around this topic. It doesn't matter who you are, everyone is going through something and knowing you're understood and supported goes a long way.Mark Matthews
It gives me great pleasure to support the TotalMTB community. These guys do so much in the global cycling community to help people that need it most in an area most people struggle to talk about. I'll always be backing TotalMTB and anyone who stands alongside them.Ben Moore
