OxDURO is a self-supported no frills road-gravel ride held on the second Saturday of Oxford Bike Week each year.  It is a gentle gateway into the national XDURO trials.

#OxDURO25 will run on Saturday 14 June 2025:
  • Start: anytime from 8am from the Radcliffe Camera
  • End: late afternoon for a pint at the The Jolly Postboys

The ride will be run in XDURO format - 5 timed segments comprised of gravel and road. Lots of time for socialising in the non-timed bits. ​Rider with the lowest aggregate time over the segments 'wins'*.​​  
*There are no entry fees, no prizes, and there is no support. You are entirely responsible for your own actions, only turn up to ride if you are comfortable with this (see Rules for more details). The route crosses over several junctions and has short sections on A-roads so be particularly careful here and ride sensibly (e.g. don't cycle in a group of more than 6 people).  And on bridleway sections, always give priority to walkers and be courteous.  In short, don't be a dick.​
