About

MMR Gravel Rebels brings competitive gravel racing to Ribadesella, one of Asturias's most recognizable coastal towns at the mouth of the River Sella on the Cantabrian Sea. Events in northern Spain are notably scarce compared to the Mediterranean coast or the central meseta, making this Asturian fixture a rare and valuable opportunity to explore a landscape with enormous cycling potential. The roads and tracks winding through Atlantic oak and eucalyptus forests, green pastures and sea-view passes offer a riding character completely different from anything found in the south or east of the country. Racing in Asturias in March also means preparing for changeable conditions: wet terrain, potential mud and technical descents are variables that the programme's specificity block addresses — through weekly coach review — so that none of them come as a surprise on race day. Distances and elevation are yet to be confirmed — check the official website before registering.
