Sonder Winter Gravel Series | 2024 - 2025

Winter Gravel Series 2024 - 2025

Our Sonder Winter Gravel Series is back

We've planned a fresh set of routes for this year's gravel series featuring the best gravel riding from each of our stores.

What could be better than spending a day on a great route, in good company, with a warm drink and something to eat at the end?

Find your nearest ride or become a true gravel hero and ride the full series. We'll provide a brevet card so you can collect a stamp for each ride and show off the completed card as a badge of honour.

Tickets cost £7 with all proceeds going to Alpkit Foundation.
