In short, Grinduro is just what the name suggests: Gravel Road Race + Mountain Bike-Style Enduro = one long loop of pavement and dirt, where finishing times aren’t based on overall loop time, but four timed segments (each roughly five-to-seven minutes).
But Grinduro is not just a bike race. It’s a celebration of cycling with as much emphasis on the fun as the ride, with excellent food, an impressive display of art and incredible handmade bikes, live music, camping and a festival atmosphere.
The course is a serious affair (60 miles of constant up-and-down in rugged terrain) but the Grinduro isn’t meant to be a sufferfest. We’ve linked together some of our favorite roads and trails. Each course features a mix of surfaces (smooth pavement, gravel and hard-packed dirt) long climbs and singletrack descents.
With a Gran Fondo-style mass start, you’ll be pedaling out of town and up the first climb alongside your heroes and the pace will be conversational—because overall time doesn’t matter, only the four timed segments. The Grinduro segments are designed to reward the most well rounded of rouleurs.
Voted “Event of the Year” by the Design and Innovation Awards committee, Grinduro expanded into four countries in 2019. For 2020, Grinduro takes the Party:Race Ratio to six unique locations around the globe! The unique format of Grinduro combines the best elements of a mountain bike enduro with a gravel grinder-style road race. Festivities include an impressive display of art and music, excellent food, great people and camping!
This is an exceptional event made possible by Giro Sport Design, SRAM, Maxxis and Fabric.
We love a bit of cross. Cross is ace.
But sometimes we’re left wanting more. It’s hard as hell at the time, but before long it feels like it’s all over too soon. That’s where Monster Cross comes in – it’s like cross, but more cross. Awesome like cyclocross, just with more awesomeness; 3 hours long with a course featuring more singletrack, more run ups, more hurdles & more cowbells.
On February 16th 2020 Monster Cross returns to Delamere Forest, Cheshire for another dose of close racing & fun riding, grade-A heckling & beer hand-ups.
