Grinduro is a socially paced cycling race. Riders tackle an all-terrain circuit – usually around 100km long – which can include anything from muddy singletrack, to dirt fire roads and paved sections. Four timed segments on the course add a competitive element, but overall times are based on these segments alone, so you're free to pedal between stages at a conversational pace.
But the event is not just a cycling race. It's a weekend-long celebration of cycling, with as much emphasis on the post-ride party as the race itself, with excellent food, the world's biggest bike brands, live music, camping and a festival atmosphere.
