Southern Grit is a gravel cycling event starting in London and heading deep into the trails of the Surrey Hills and surrounding countryside.

Designed for riders across London and the South East, it combines challenging off-road terrain, flowing gravel and a proper day out on the bike.

🧭 WHAT IS SOUTHERN GRIT

This is not a guided ride or a follow-the-leader event.

Southern Grit is a self-supported gravel sportive — a route to ride at your own pace, on your own terms, with the terrain doing the talking.

Expect chalk climbs, woodland trails, flint-strewn descents and long stretches where rhythm matters more than brute force.


🎯 WHO IT’S FOR

Southern Grit is ideal for riders with some off-road experience looking to step up to a longer gravel challenge.

Whether you're building towards bigger rides, testing yourself over distance or simply looking for a properly satisfying day out, this is a ride that rewards patience, pacing and good judgement.


🌍 LOCATION & ROUTE

Starting in South London at Herne Hill Velodrome, the route heads out towards the Surrey Hills and surrounding trails, linking together some of the best off-road riding accessible from the city.

It’s a route built on discovery — quiet tracks, hidden cut-throughs and sections that feel a long way from London, even when they’re not.


⚙️ WHAT TO EXPECT

  • A high percentage of off-road riding

  • Mixed terrain including chalk, gravel and woodland trails

  • A physically and mentally engaging ride

  • Self-supported format — you manage your day

  • A strong sense of progression from start to finish

    My dog loves glowing fetch at night!
    Style: Glow Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
    Fantastic. Sturdy. My dog loves them Glow in the dark is great for fetch at night. I keep a flashlight with me because the glow doesn't last really long. But they charge very quickly and are really bright.

    Indestructible
    Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 2), Size: 3 inch
    These balls are indestructible! We have a lab and a lab mix and they CANNOT damage these balls. They love them for fetch and to just chew on them (slightly squishy, but NO damage). Best toys we have bought for them.

    Great trial set. Just be careful throwing the orange one!
    Style: Assorted Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
    Blue isn't that easy to see in the yard White charges with bright light/UV and is truly a game changer for night-time fetch. Both dogs clearly favor it. Orange is easy to see in the grass at day They're 3 different weights as well, so double trial. I prefer medium for my big dogs, though light performs well too The orange is HEAVY and unyielding. Do NOT throw it with a ball thrower. It could damage your house or knock your dog out. Seems tough though.

    Cheap but expected, worked as intended, none of them broke.
    Size: 1000 Teaspoons
    Seems to be cheap quality but what else can you expect for the price? I needed something cheap that would work for cold foods, and these delivered. They lasted me forever and I didn’t have any break, I just didn’t trust them with super hot foods. I will buy again in a heartbeat though because for everything else they work great. They are small spoons that don’t hold much, bend easily, are really lightweight and I wish they came in portions or wraps because after opening they sat there collecting dust through the hole in the box and so I had to transfer them to a closed container for sanitary purposes. Again though, I didn’t really expect anything else, so I’m happy regardless.
