Untamed Gravel Sportive
Back for 2025 for its 4th edition by popular demand, The Untamed offers a Gravel-Oriented event for our Pedal Norfolk Festival set in the prestigious grounds of Holkham Hall. Experience the big open skies of Norfolk along quiet lanes and bridleways as you criss-cross North Norfolk and pass through beautiful villages.
The Untamed offers 25, 50 and 75 mile routes which may feel much longer if your a roadie coming to try a Gravel-Oriented event for the first time! Each route is approximately 40% bridleway or unpaved tracks with quiet lanes (which in Norfolk can be equally as challenging!) making up the majority of the remainder.
As always with TPR Events, our routes are fully signposted, our rides are fully inclusive of feed stops and the 75 mile option also offers lunch. Full mechanical support and broom wagon is provided for peace of mind. by our friends at Pedal Revolution.
The event is open to all riders of all abilities and ages. We encourage all types of bikes as well, with the ability to complete this ride on a Gravel, MTB, Hybrid or E-Bike.
