A flat, fast-but-sandy 56km loop through Thetford Forest, England's largest lowland pine forest, on the sandy Breckland of Norfolk. One of Glorious Gravel's welcoming Trophy days, run mid-October.
The route
A single 56km loop over firm pine-forest fire roads and soft, draggy Breckland sand, roughly 450m of climbing (estimated, not officially published). Essentially flat, but the sand keeps speeds lower than the profile suggests.
Mid-October, Thetford
Highs around 15°C and lows around 8°C, but it has dropped to 0°C. Rain on 40% of days. Pack for the cold end, not the average.
