Orbit360 is an unsupported, ultra-endurance gravel series where from 4 Juny to 14 August 2022, riders can choose their Orbits out of 18 different routes and collect points. The race window will be open for ten weeks and riders can start at whatever time and location along the Orbit they want. Tracking via komoot, completed Orbits will be listed in the virtual leaderboard that will determine the season rankings.
Please read the race manual for the Gravel Series 2022 and make sure to understand the rules.
The Idea
Due to the 2020 pandemic many bike events had been cancelled. For us, that didn’t mean the end of cycling. We rather saw it as a new beginning: we wanted to share the best routes in Germany with our cycling community. From that moment on, Orbit360 was born, the first unsupported gravel adventure series where riders can compete against each other – safely and in an exciting new format!
When: June 4 – August 14
Where: all over Germany

You get one badge for your third, sixth and eighth Orbit ridden and they are displayed on your profile and shown in the overall-ranking. Your badges get you great treats and deals from our partners komoot, VOTEC and CRAFT. Happy riding!

The race window will be opened from June 4 to August 14.
Points will be awarded for three different categories:
Finishing Points = 500 points
Series Points: Finishing 3 Orbits = 1000 extra points
