What’s the Dirty Reiver? If you haven’t heard about it yet: it’s a perfectly organized 200km gravel challenge with between 4,000m of elevation. Participants traverse gravel forest access roads that service the vast areas of forest covering the border region of England and Scotland, and it takes them through remote areas providing outstanding viewpoints across this spectacular part of the UK.
