Gravel X - Sutton Bank Bikes

New for 2026 is our Gravel-X events which will take place on the dedicated gravel course within the plantation opposite the shop here at Sutton Bank Bikes. 

GRAVEL-X?

A new and unique event format we’ve developed which includes elements of different offroad cycling disciplines into one punchy, fun mass start race. The short-course track combines wide sweeping sections of gravel with flowing XC singletrack & short Cyclo-Cross elements which together mean Gravel & Cross bikes can compete alongside downcountry MTBs. It’s fun, it’s fast & completely inclusive no matter age or experience.

• Saturday 28th March
• Saturday 9th May

The events are run over a 2.5km course with categories competing for upto 60 minutes.
Use the event as fun training or try to beat your friends or family!
No e-bikes allowed but hybrid/leisure bikes, gravel bikes and mountain bike's all welcome.
