Lancashire Gravel Epic

The Lancashire Gravel Epic, taking place on September 13, 2025, is a stunning off-road challenge through the Forest of Bowland and beyond. Riders will experience a mix of smooth fire roads, rolling back roads, and iconic gravel trails, including the legendary Salter Fell—a 17 km ancient Roman road. With spectacular views of Ribblehead Viaduct and the remote landscapes of Northern England, this is a must-ride event for those looking for a mix of endurance, adventure, and technical gravel terrain. The event features two routes: • Long Route (112 km, 2,200 m elevation) – A tough mix of gravel and tarmac, featuring Bowland Knotts, Pennine Way, Ribblehead Viaduct, and the challenging Salter Fell. • Medium Route (68 km, 1,450 m elevation) – A more direct route that skips Ribblehead Viaduct, focusing on Salter Fell and Gisburn Forest, making it a great choice for those looking for a shorter but still challenging ride. With 50-60% off-road terrain, including smooth fire roads, rugged Pennine trails, and heavy gravel sections, this ride is best suited for experienced gravel riders looking for a mix of endurance and adventure.
