Trek Gravel Adventure begins at Ryde on Sunday 11 October. It begins at 10:00 and is scheduled to finish at 17:00.
The ride starts near Ryde Esplanade railway station and spends a full day on Island tracks and lanes. Gravel riding sits between road cycling and mountain biking, so choose a suitable bike, carry what you need and check the organiser information before setting out. Gravel riding mixes road pace with rougher surfaces, so the day sits between a conventional cycle tour and a mountain-bike session. The start beside Island Line makes Ryde the clear launch point. Ryde has the scale for a crowd but still lets a route feel connected to recognisable streets. The Esplanade and town centre give outdoor events a strong east Wight identity.
Reserve the free place before joining. The ride runs from 10:00 to 17:00, which means carrying food, drink, repair essentials and any clothing the forecast demands. Use a bike suited to gravel; the source does not give distance, elevation, pace, support vehicles or a detailed route, so check the organiser information before committing. Browse sport and fitness events for shorter active options. This is a full-day ride for cyclists who already understand their equipment and comfort on mixed Island tracks and lanes.
