Glorious Gravel: Dracula Country Gravel Epic

Welcome to Dracula Country in the North Yorkshire Moors. It is from our base in Whitby that Bram Stoker wrote his famous book based on local events.

And we have a suitable 90km gravel epic with a bite. With a mix of seaside riding & epic sections across the moors, the route gives you a perfect view of this stunning part of Yorkshire finishing by Whitby Abbey.

What’s Included

• GPX Files
• Pre ride briefing
• Feed stops approximately every 30km
• Free coffee & beer at the finish
• Ride marshals supporting you on the route

Preparing for the Ride

The Glorious Gravel Series is open to all off-road bikes. While it is aimed primarily at Gravel & Adventure bikes, which are essentially fat tyred drop bar bikes, you are also most welcome on a mountain bike or cyclocross bike. We recommend a tyre width of 33+mm for most for our rides. 

What to bring : You will be further from van support or facilities you would find in most towns than with our road trips so it is advisable to take a little more with you. 

GPS device with route loaded, Spare tube or Tubeless plug, Pump and/or CO2, Mini tool, Jacket and/or additional layers.

We will email you the GPX route & a full breakdown of the route one week before the ride. Our route director will then be at the start to give you last minute advice and tips. You will be asked to select a start window which we will then confirm one week before the ride to ensure you roll out in group sizes based on current restrictions.
