Santini Gravel Bib Shorts and Jersey, worth £258

Santini Gravel Bib Shorts, £169 

For long off-road outings, Santini’s Gravel bibs provide light compression and the fabric used is also abrasion resistant to deal with the demands of gravel riding. 

These bibs feature the gel-based C3 chamois that’s designed to provide plenty of protection from shocks and for keeping things comfortable on long rides. For carrying essentials, there’s a side pocket on each thigh as well as two additional pockets on the lower back. 

Santini Terranova Jersey, £89

To help keep you cool, this slim-fitting gravel-specific top layer features the Movida fabric which has sweat-releasing grooves.

Interestingly, all of the three rear pockets also feature another outer pocket that’s made of light mesh which doubles the cargo space and makes this jersey an ideal option for longer rides. 

So there you have it - win our grand prize and you'll be off on the cycling trip of a lifetime or you'll still bag some quality new kit in the runner-up prize. To win one of these two great prizes provided by Hotchillee and Santini, all you have to do is enter the competition by filling out the form below. This competition is open to all, so no matter where you are in the world you have a chance to ride this amazing event.
