The Route promises to introduce even the most experienced navigators to a ride which spans lesser know paths and tracks across SW London. A mixture of passable off-road and gravel tracks, interspersed by quieter roads to link to one another. The 52km route leaves Pearson Sheen store SW14 8AG where plentiful coffee and watering facilities are available. The nearest train station is Mortlake two minutes away and there is also extensive free parking in the surrounding roads for those arriving by car. The route will be supplied ahead of the event to download on to GPS devices and phones using navigation apps.

The route is not marked and for those who are not digital yet, we will be supplying the chance when entering online for the first 30 riders to borrow a new Wahoo GPS for the ride. Riders who are not equipped with the digital route will be unable to follow the course.

The route will have staging posts where you will be able to access refreshments and mechanical facilities supplied by Sportive Breaks. There will also be a roving mechanic for those in any difficulty on route, a contact number will be provided in case of emergency. The route finishes back at the store where our friends at Signal Brewery will be supplying light refreshments for your well-deserved efforts. The Wahoo team will also be at the start to help with downloads out on their bikes helping riders where required.

Pearson have three main models of gravel bike ranging from their Summon the Blood titanium, Off Grid Carbon and All Mod Cons aluminium versions. All models are supplied with a free bike fit sizing at their Sheen or Sutton stores. Please contact care@pearson1860.com to book a one to one appointment to let them get you started.
