RAINBOW ROUTES
The Rainbow Routes are a series of curated gravel rides designed to help you make the most of your time in the South West region – exploring nearby towns, discovering hidden gems, riding through spectacular forests and meeting the locals along the way.
Routes will be released ahead of the Championships, giving you everything you need to get out and explore at your own pace. We’ll also be sharing ideas on how to connect with other riders in the region during race week.
Stay tuned for updates but in the meantime take a look at the beautiful nearby towns!
