Peak Gravel Overnighter 2025
20th-21st September
Join us for an overnight jaunt into the Peak District from Manchester.
The Peak Gravel Overnighter is a friendly expedition out of the busy Manchester city centre to the quiet lanes and bridleways the National Park has to offer.
Pack your tent, brewing kit, stove and kitchen sink. Or go light and embrace some discomfort. Either way be ready for chatting bikes, shredding gravel, faffing and laughs.
For details about the event and event programme, please refer to this page:

What is the Peak Gravel Overnighter
This is a friendly group ride.
It is not a race, a competition nor a supported ride. While we will ride together - possibly splitting into smaller groups depending on pace and numbers - participants are free to make their way to the campsite at the pace they enjoy and stop as and when they need.
There are no organised feed stops, broom wagon nor mechanical assistance, participants are expect to be self-sufficient and capable of making their way to the finish/home should they be unable to continue the ride.
Balance Taproom
Balance Brewing and Blending Taproom is a beautiful and welcoming space where you can see all of the aspects of the brewing process and enjoy its fruits.
Located in central Manchester (10 Sheffield St, M1 2ND) it’s conveniently located near Manchester Piccadilly train station. We recommend cycling or using public transport to reach the start, however there arecar parks within walking distance from the Taproom for those driving.
