One of our four gravel monuments of the year. Prepare for one of the toughest rides of the season!
The Triple Crown takes in three distinct routes around Kielder. Loop one is a classic 57km in the forest with a couple of tough climbs all on smooth fire roads.Loop two is wilder and more rugged heading into Scotland, one of the few rides that takes in a border crossing!
And finally, with over 115km in the legs, the final loop heads around Kielder Water before finishing at Kielder Castle.This monument is definitely a one to mark down in the diary to aim and train for in the 2025 season as one of the best gravel destinations in the UK, if not the world.
