Chilterns Gravel X

Long Route
We start in Kingston Blount and get on The Ridgeway almost straight away and stay on this for almost 20km before heading into the heart of the Chilterns.
Over the next 40km we take in 7 climbs on a mix of tarmac and off road with some amazing views. The last 25km is quick on some less known gravel sections before we arrive back for a well earned beer & food.
The seven climbs come in all shapes and sizes, the rest of the ride is fairly fast so this is a big ride but suitable for anyone happy to get over some climbs.

The medium route cuts out 30km in the middle (and hilliest part) of the long route. We start with 20km on the Ridgeway and then head into the hills for a total of 5 climbs and nearly 1,000m of total elevation. A really nice & varied medium route.
