Introducing Beyond Tarmac: UK Gravel Cycling & Bikepacking Newsletter for Riders 50+

If you love gravel cycling and bikepacking, you know that the journey is as much about the ride as it is about the community, the gear, and the discoveries along the way. That’s why I’m excited to introduce Beyond Tarmac, a brand-new bi-weekly newsletter designed to complement everything you love about Gravel Endurance—but with a fresh, community-focused twist. It’s free to subscribe, and the hope is to keep it free!

While Gravel Endurance will continue to bring you stories, interviews, and insights from the world of gravel cycling, Beyond Tarmac is aimed squarely at UK riders aged 50+ who are looking to explore off-road adventures, discover great gear, and connect with like-minded cyclists. Each issue will feature:

  • Exclusive Gear Reviews: Bikes, lights, jerseys, and accessories put to the test.
  • Event Previews & Reviews: From local rides to national gravel events.
  • Community Spotlights: Your stories, tips, and photos featured for all to enjoy.
  • Adventure Resources: Downloadable route guides, campsite reviews, and ride inspiration.
  • Special Offers: Early access to discounts, promotions, and giveaways from retailers and manufacturers I’ll be speaking with.

The goal is to make Beyond Tarmac more than just a newsletter—it’s a space for riders to share experiences, ask questions, and get practical advice. By running Gravel Endurance and Beyond Tarmac in tandem, I can bring you the best of both worlds: in-depth industry insights here on the blog, and hands-on, actionable advice, deals, and community stories delivered straight to your inbox.

If you’re ready to take your gravel adventures further and join a growing community of UK riders, subscribe to Beyond Tarmac today—and let’s go beyond tarmac together.
