Glorious Gravel Chilterns Sportive

July 26, 2026

Yesterday I took part in the Glorious Gravel Chiltern's sportive. I only did the medium route as I was recovering from a nasty viral infection. The medium route as 70km 970m of climbing as compared to the long route at 96km. Shame to miss out what would probably have been some lovely additional trails but it was good to finish without being ruined!

Remarkably only 18km of the route was on paved roads, so a really high ratio of off-road to on-road.

Highlights of the route are in included in the Kamoot details below.
