Grinduro

I’ve had every kind of luck at Grinduro over the years. From heading home with a broken collarbone to winning the whole darn thing, I feel like I’ve seen it all. Similarly, this 2019 edition is a good example of how it is all wrapped up into one nice package there in Quincy, California. It somehow seems fitting that this year saw snow, sleet, hail, rain, and sun — the whole weather gamut just as the weekend offers the full gamut.

Grinduro, baby! This weekend gravel bike spectacular is the OG of gravel events with designated "race zones" and a whole lot of fun in between. Taking place high up in Quincy, CA, Ted, Laura, and friends head to the high Sierras in 2019 in hopes of taking a consecutive win at Grinduro having taken top honors in 2018.

Come along for the ride on this King of the Ride video, above, as we first head to the Bay Area and catch up with friends atop Mt Tam during bleary eyed dawn patrol, nosh baked goods at my favorite CA bakery, and take in California in her early fall excellence.
