SPIN DRIFT GRAVEL

A winter ride for those who know the season is too good to waste indoors.

SPIN DRIFT is Forge 1860's signature winter gravel event. A scenic 60km route combining quiet roads, gravel tracks, woodland trails and winter lanes, designed to test and reward your riding skills across every surface and condition the season can throw at you.

Whether you're carving through gravel, rolling along sunlit back roads or picking your line through muddy sections, SPIN DRIFT is about embracing winter riding at its very best. Expect big views, varied terrain, great company and the unmistakable satisfaction that comes from a proper day out on the bike.
