In 342 days from now (at time of writing, 8th June 2025), I’ll be competing in the Gralloch UCI Gravel World Series in Galloway Forest Park, Scotland. Or at least, that’s the plan.
You see, I’ve never cycled the 110km I’ll need to cover; and I’ve never competed in any form of cycling race – let alone on gravel.
And on top of that, I’ll be aiming to finish in the top 25% of my age group – and qualify for the World Gravel Championships in 2026. Apparently they’re in Australia.
I’ve no idea how this will turn out; but I’m intent on sharing all the good, and not so good, stuff as I try to make this happen. I’d love to have you follow along.
