UK gravel aficionados now have another, rather different option on the calendar that is set to offer everything from racing with timed segments to a festival set-up and even a cross-country running event.
The Explorr event bills itself as an 'endurance festival' and in Banchory, near Aberdeen on 28-30 August this year. It's based around a one-day gravel 'stage race' of 120km with four timed sections totalling 76km, and which will also feature general, mountain and sprint classifications to add an extra dynamic.
