Best Gravel Riding in the UK? I visit the New Forest to find out!

Описание: It's mid August 2025. I see the weather report for the week looks near perfect. I decide to take a day off work and have a mini break. But what to do? I know I want to cycle. The north is too far for a single day off mid week. Essex is lovely but I have done a lot of milage there over the summer and I want the day off to feel like a holiday, so needs to be something different. I have heard a lot of good things about the gravel riding in the New Forest. I decide to take the gravel bike down there and see for myself what it is like! I get a route from a friend that visits often and knows gravel well, load up the car with all my gear and head down the night before, so I get a full day in the Forest. How did I get on? You will have to watch and find out!
