Essex Gravel Epic

[mr_cellophane]

Has anyone done this ? I've never done a gravel sportive and as I live close I might give it a go either on a MTB or put the 35mm tyres back on my cross bike.

I have looked for a route, but can't find one.


Thanks

Brentwood, Willingale, Ongar, Dunmow then Fitch Way back via Braintree ,Great Leighs and then Chignalls , its ok but GRAVEL is not really a description of the ride, more quiet roads, white concrete type farmers track's and the Fitch Way old railway line, lots of walkers about too.

Thanks.
I met someone on a ride who did it a couple of years ago and she sent me the GPX for those routes. My cousin is doing it and she sent me a £10 off code.
Put the 35mm tyres back on my bike, so I am all ready to go.

Can't believe they are charging £50
