THE WEEKEND

Raiders Gravel is a truly Scottish gravel adventure ride run across three stages in the heart of the Galloway Forest Park. Over the weekend riders will visit much of the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere, witnessing its natural wonders.

But this is so much more than just a cycling event.

Taking place as we begin to say goodbye to summer, between August 25th – 28th, not only are there three days of challenging riding, but there’s plenty to make Raiders a weekend to remember.

Based in the small coastal town of Gatehouse of Fleet there’ll be an EXPO where global partners and local businesses alike show their wares. Each evening we’ll have events including presentations and talks, and local musicians, poets and dancers will add a taste of real Scottish culture.

Camping is included in the price of your entry and there’ll be plenty of food and drink options to ensure you enjoy refuelling after the rides

When you enter Raiders you’re entering far more than just a bike ride. After the three days of exhilarating riding the evenings are full of entertainment and a fabulous selection of local food and drink.
