It is held on the first full weekend in October each year. #pennDURO23 will run on Saturday 7 October 2023:
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). |

What bike shall I ride?
You'd ideally ride this on a gravel bike with ~35mm tyres or a XC MTB if you're opting for comfort over speed. Should I be a dick? Please don't cycle in a group of more than 6 people and always be courteous and give priority to walkers when off-road. |
