RR23's Rough Ride Gravel Challenge


RR23's Rough Ride Gravel Challenge 2023

Test yourself on the undulating terrain of Cannock Chase & the surrounding area's & help a new generation of future pro's.


This event, isn't really an event as such. It's simply a fantastic opportunity to test yourself on a pre-planned route of around 40 miles on the best mixed terrain than Cannock Chase & the surrounding areas of South Staffordshire & Shropshire have to offer.


This event will be raising funds for the not-for-profit Run & Ride Development Program (RR23) & their upcoming 2023 season. Funding is absolutely crucial in supporting up and coming riders in becoming future professionals. All funds from this event will directly benefit these athletes through providing equipment, coaching & support throughout the season.
