One event. Pick your route or any combination of routes. The Peaky Blinder takes place on local roads, while the Cheeky Grinder is a gravel ride.

You can ride as many laps of either circuit as you want between 9.00am and 3pm, but you must start your last lap of either route before the 3pm cut-off time. 

The Peaky Blinder route (Road) is a 51.8km or 32.4mile road ride

The Cheeky Grinder routes (Gravel) will be around 25 miles long and can be ridden in a figure of eight so that you can use the feed station at the event HQ. The routeswill use our local knowledge to take in the small lanes, bridleways, tracks, drove roads and green lanes.  Suitable for Gravel/CX/Adventure bikes, or MTB.  

Both routes start and finish from Cafe Marina, Kestel Court.  You will find our fantastic feed station here as well as the included drink of your choice and hot food from 12pm onwards when you've called it a day.  The social element of the event is part of it's DNA.  We are a local cycling club and not a commercial organiser.
