Dirt Dashes are a series of friendly & inclusive gravel and bikepacking cycling events held in Scotland and England.

Whether you’re a seasoned gravel rider or someone new to bikepacking, our Dirt Dashes offers a range of challenges suitable for all levels of experience.
‘The Dirt Dash weekends are sociable and friendly, but to crystalise that into a community takes time and repetition … putting like-minded people together, and forging a community around an otherwise individualistic part of our sport.‘ James Howell-Jones, Global Cycling Network
‘I can’t say enough about the Dunoon Dirt Dash and the route we followed. It offers so much for riders of all abilities and is a perfect weekend adventure to fill your soul. You’ll be invigorated by the wonders of the Cowal Peninsula and come away buzzing with new experiences and new friendships formed.’ Brett Cotter, bikepacking.com
