Did the race in 2022

My first Glorious Gravel event and it was brilliant. Fantastic course, well route marked, well organised, good feed stops and even a beer at the finish. Meet some great like minded people and everyone very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be doing more of their events. Thanks.
