Join us for a special edition of our Dev Team hosted Saturday ride where we will be celebrating #newkitday with our brand new Eliel Cycling kits. This gravel ride will follow our newly updated Saturday route which starts at the Lost Abbey Confessional in Cardiff by the Sea at 8:30AM. An aid station will also be on course, with location details provided on the morning of the ride. Enjoy casual post-ride hangs at The Confessional that opens at 11AM.
Route
The #NewKitDay gravel ride will feature a great mix of fire road, singletrack, gravel, pavement. Some sections may be rough, steep and loose so be careful out there!
