WHAT'S ON
Temple Traverse 2026
London to Bristol BIKEPACKING ADVENTURE
31ST JULY - 3RD AUGUST
A 4-day gravel-focused bikepacking event connecting Temple Cycles Brick Lane to the new Temple Cycles Bristol Store.
Riding west from Shoreditch to Bristol, the route links together canal towpaths, gravel tracks, bridleways, and quiet country lanes through some of Southern England’s best bikepacking terrain. Expect long stretches of the Kennet & Avon Canal, renowned ridgeway gravel, rolling Wiltshire lanes, and the final run into Bristol via the Bristol & Bath Railway Path.
Over four days we’ll travel in a semi-supported format, encouraging self-sufficiency and adventure while still offering the reassurance of a shared group experience. Riders will stay at carefully selected campsites close to pubs, resupply stops, and village shops — ideal for post-ride recovery pints and hearty dinners before another day on the bike.
The route has been designed specifically for gravel bikes and all-road touring setups, mixing canal towpaths, gravel, chalk and bridleway sections, B-roads and lanes and traffic-free cycle paths.
The pace is social rather than competitive, with plenty of opportunities to regroup, refuel, and enjoy the landscapes along the way.
