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

    Genuine leather upper and well made
    Size: 10, Color: Sunlight
    These shoes are well made and I love the way they look. They look great with jeans or dresses. I usually wear a 9 1/2 or 10 depending on the brand. These are a size 10 and fit. Hopefully after a breaking in period the opening at the toes will loosen up. Also, when walking they make a slap slap sound. Again, hoping after they break in that won't be the case. I got a great deal and poof a couple of days later there was a slightly better deal. I wasn't sure I'd like the color but it's actually really nice. The upper is genuine leather and they are well made.

    Beautiful shoe
    Size: 7, Color: Smoke Grey
    This shoe is fairly narrow, which works fine for my narrow feet. Comfortable. Light. Nice color will match with lots of colors. Fairly comfortable but the skinny part by the toe I see how this would give anyone with a medium side foot blisters. It’s fine on me.

    Runs small
    Size: 8.5, Color: Sandstorm
    This shoe is super cute and comfy. I usually wear an 8 or an 8½. I ordered the 8½, but it was too small, so I had to send it back. I reordered a 9, and it fit perfectly.
