A TRULY SCOTTISH GRAVEL CYCLING ADVENTURE
WELCOME TO RAIDERS GRAVEL
Raiders Gravel is a truly Scottish gravel cycling adventure ride held over four days in the heart of the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere, in South-West Scotland.
Our stunning routes take riders on three challenging routes though the Galloway Forest Park, witnessing its stunning beauty and wildlife, with almost every kilometre off road. And while each of the three stages is different, all will touch Raiders Road, a 16km gravel trail running east to west which lends the event its name.
With a social ride the day before the action begins, and the accompanying festival Raiders Gravel has the optimal mix of adventure, exertion, culture and relaxation making for an unforgettable cycling event in one of Scotland’s unspoilt gems.
You can tackle Raiders as a team of two or solo entrant. Join us next summers for the second edition between August 31st and September 3rd.
