This one was a proper test — a full Gran Fondo gravel ride out to the beautiful coastal town of Seaham. Over 100km of mixed terrain: from forest tracks and farm roads to quiet tarmac stretches and windswept cliffside trails. The legs definitely felt it, but the views made every climb worth it.
Expect a bit of everything on this ride — gritty climbs, scenic coastlines, and that satisfying post-ride fatigue only a Gran Fondo can deliver.
