🧭 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.

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.

⚙️ 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

    Cooling and comfortable against your skin
    Color: Navy Blue, Size: 1 Pack Body(20x54)-Regular
    Fits perfectly and feels nice against your skin. Just wish it had a zipper on the end. That would have made it perfect.

    I am stunned
    Color: Black, Size: Queen(20x30)
    I had no idea what to expect from these. But for as cheap as they were I was willing to just write it off of they weren't that good. I had already picked up a new memory foam pillow to replace my previous memory foam pillow that didn't do well with dissipating heat. This new pillow was fine by itself, but when I put my pillowcase on it, the properties that made it cooling were negated. I'd get a bit of sweat on the side of my head or my neck where it was against the pillow all night. The pillow was supposed to be a cool one, but the pillowcase was not. So I grabbed this set. Smooth, no loose threads anywhere, stitching and seams are all spot on. And it's smooth to the touch. Got it on the pillow, and as soon as I laid my head down on it, I could tell immediately that this was going to be a different result that my other one. Not nearly as warm even after laying on it for a while. No heat buildup, no bits of moisture on the skin after being on it all night. This definitely works well, especially with my cool sleep pillow. Now I can have a far more comfortable nights sleep. For the price, it's a steal. I have no idea what longevity will be, but with two of them, I'm sure I'll get more than my money's worth.

    Soft, not too thick and wash very well. Feels great against my skin and doesn’t make my hair frizzy. Color was perfect.
