Spotted this on tweetah. Looks like gravel grinder "races" are on their way.
It's off road ("gravel") ride/sportive around Kielder Forest which I even know the location of thanks to the Tan Hill audax.

I heard about this just after the inaugural race/ride. Apparently 'hardest thing I've done on a bike' was the general consensus.
The roads in the forest don't strike me as being hard but off road I've no idea - guess it depends what the riders normally consider 'hard'.
It says doable on 32s so maybe I should consider taking the 4SD up there for a bit of a dirty weekend?
