Date: Sun 22 Feb, 2026
Venue: Alpkit store
Self-supported gravel bike ride on one of our favourite gravel routes in the area. Suitable for riders of all abilities. 10am start.
During the winter months, even the most hardy and adventurous off-road riders can sometimes need a little extra encouragement to get out and pedal. We've got you covered with our Sonder Winter Gravel Series.
Start from Alpkit Betws-y-Coed and will be a self-supported ride leaving the store at 10am, lasting roughly 2-4 hours depending on your speed.
A GPX file of the route will be sent out to all participants who have confirmed their booking through Eventbrite, prior to the event. The route can be completed at your own pace. Come and have a go whatever your ability.
Please come equipped with everything you would bring on a solo ride (including a helmet) and be aware that being self-supported means you are your own mechanic for this ride, so, although we all hope it won't happen, be prepared to fix a puncture by the side of the trail or handle anything else that may occur en route!
Back at Alpkit there will be cakes and weather-specific refreshments (the soup went down a treat last year) and plenty of time to chat bikes, routes and all things adventure with staff and fellow riders.
Proceeds will be donated to the Alpkit Foundation.
