Gravel bike ride in The Chilterns – Beautiful route through nature
I love cycling, and I often ride when I’m not hiking. This gravel bike ride in The Chilterns with a point of view (POV) of a beautiful route through nature is one that I did for the first time.
I aimed to start at the Chiltern Velo (coffee shop) and see how many traffic-free, off-road trails I could connect to make a loop back to the café. I did this to inspire urban cyclists who want more of an adventure and families who want to venture somewhere different with their cycles that was safe for children.
