🧭 WHAT IS SOUTHERN GRIT

This is not a guided ride or a follow-the-leader event.

Southern Grit is a self-supported gravel sportive — a route to ride at your own pace, on your own terms, with the terrain doing the talking.

Expect chalk climbs, woodland trails, flint-strewn descents and long stretches where rhythm matters more than brute force.


🎯 WHO IT’S FOR

Whether you're building towards bigger rides, testing yourself over distance or simply looking for a properly satisfying day out, this is a ride that rewards patience, pacing and good judgement.


🌍 LOCATION & ROUTE

Starting in South London at Herne Hill Velodrome, the route heads out towards the Surrey Hills and surrounding trails, linking together some of the best off-road riding accessible from the city.

It’s a route built on discovery — quiet tracks, hidden cut-throughs and sections that feel a long way from London, even when they’re not.


⚙️ WHAT TO EXPECT

  • A high percentage of off-road riding

  • Mixed terrain including chalk, gravel and woodland trails

  • A physically and mentally engaging ride

  • Self-supported format — you manage your day

  • A strong sense of progression from start to finish

    Decent Comfort, but Honestly Overpriced for the Quality
    Color: 06 - Aqua Gray, Size: King (2 Pillowcases)
    I’ve heard a lot of hype about the Beckham Hotel Collection, so I decided to treat myself to this king-size set of luxury sateen pillowcases. Out of the box, they look very nice—the sateen weave gives them a subtle, sophisticated sheen that definitely upgrades the look of the bed. They feel relatively soft to the touch, and the 100% cotton material is breathable enough that I didn't find myself flipping the pillow over for a "cool side" in the middle of the night. However, after using them for a bit, I’m struggling to see where the "luxury" price tag comes from. While they are perfectly functional pillowcases, the quality feels fairly mediocre compared to other 500-thread-count sets I’ve owned in the past. The fabric is a bit thinner than I expected, and after just one or two washes, I noticed some slight fraying around the inner seams. They just don't have that heavy, crisp, high-end hotel feel that the marketing leads you to believe you’re getting. The biggest issue for me is the value proposition. There are plenty of other cotton sateen sets available for a fraction of the cost that offer the same—if not better—durability and softness. These aren't bad pillowcases by any means, but they aren't exceptional either. If I’m paying a premium for a "luxury" brand name, I expect the stitching to be flawless and the fabric to feel substantial, but these feel like standard department store linens. I’m giving these three stars because they do the job and look decent on the bed, but they didn't wow me. If you can find them on a deep discount, they might be worth it, but at full price, I feel like I paid more for the branding than the actual quality of the cotton. I'll keep using them for now, but I won't be rushing out to buy a second set anytime soon.

    Great Sheets. Just Not what I was looking for
    Color: 01 - White, Size: King, Color: 01 - White, Size: King
    I purchased pillow cases which are silky thick and somewhat stretcy.. They felt very high quality to me so i wanted the corresponding sheets as well. I purchased sheets from the same manufacturer but they were made from different materials (my fault for not checking that). The sheets i ended up with very nice in their own way. They are King Size, 100% cotton, and look silky, just not what I thought they would be. They are not that thick but fine. The sheets i wanted were a combination of Cotton, Polyester, and some spandex.

    Great sheets and value!
    Color: 03 - Gray, Size: Queen
    Super soft, cool temperature, grey color matches sample. We got the standard queen for our Murphy bed mattress and it fits perfectly! The fitted sheet stays in place with the elasticity of the banding and the thickness is perfect, not too light, not to heavy.
