The 360 (2026)

The 360 is a 360-kilometre, non-stop gravel orbit of London, a complete circumnavigation of the capital that never takes you more than 30 miles from Trafalgar Square. It’s big, it’s bold, and it demands commitment, starting in the early hours with just 24 hours to close the loop. No feed zones, no support, no broom wagon, just you, a GPX line, and the steady pull of a full circle that must be earned the hard way.

This is a ride that moves through day and night, dawn light on empty towpaths, midday gravel through woods and farmland, dusk falling while you’re deep in the trees with the only glow coming from your headlamp on chalk and singletrack. Tucked between the motorways and the urban sprawl is a surprising network of forgotten bridleways, towpaths and byways, the back edge of London that most people never see, yet riders here will traverse in one continuous push.

Expect around 4,400 metres of climbing, countless surface changes, and the psychological battle that comes when fatigue sets in and the nearest train station tempts you home. But keep going, through the dark pockets of the North Downs, across heathland, through logistics, legs and resolve, and the loop eventually closes beneath your wheels. You finish where you started, but not the same.

Complete it and you’ll have ridden the hidden edges of the biggest city in Britain in a single, relentless sweep. It’s tough, raw, incredible, and it’s frigging awesome.
