We Raced A Gravel Pro For 360km. How Much Quicker Was He?

We’re taking on an insane cycling challenge: riding the ultimate 360km gravel route around London! Alex and Si attempted to complete a gruelling loop that encircles the capital, passing through stunning countryside while dodging infamous London traffic. Joined by professional gravel racer Jenson Young from the Ribble Outliers Pro Gravel Team, they put their endurance, gear, and resolve to the ultimate test.
