MT. Shasta, California
August 9 - 11, 2024
Grinduro California is back in 2024 and beautiful Mt. Shasta once again hosts this awesome party!
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-ten minutes).
But Grinduro is not just a bike race. It’s a weekend long celebration of gravel cycling with as much emphasis on the fun as the ride, with excellent food, an impressive display of art, an incredible bike expo, live music, camping, and a festival atmosphere.
Registration for Grinduro California opens December 1st 2023.

Course
Course
The Grinduro and Grindurito courses are going to be RAD. We’ll have course maps and GPX routes for both courses available here as we get closer to the event.
The Grinduro course takes you on an unforgettable tour of Mt. Shasta’s incredible dirt roads and singletrack. You’ll experience everything from rough remote gravel roads to smooth swoopy singletrack blanketed in dreamy brown pow.
All along the way, you’ll be struck with awe thanks to massive views of Mt. Shasta and the Eddy Mountain Range. Guaranteed, there will be more grammable moments than you’ll know what to do with!

PARTY!
Life is about more than riding a bike. Grinduro Germany features a great music festival with live music and DJ's. So prepare for a good party with craft beer, marshmallows at the campfire and hearty food!
Excellent Food
Excellent Food
We believe that bike riders’ health, attitude and performance is directly related to the foods that they eat, so we have amazing food planned for the weekend.
Lunch and dinner are included for all racers on Saturday. Grinduro riders will enjoy lunch out on course, and the Grindurito lunch will be available in the venue. The chefs from our favorite restaurant in town - Pipeline Craft Taps and Kitchen - have prepared a mouth watering menu for you, with lots of great options for our vegan and gluten free friends.

RECOMMENDED GEAR
RECOMMENDED GEAR
You can ride any type of bicycle (no ebikes!), although we recommend a gravel bike or hardtail MTB. The ultimate setup is probably a gravel bike with fast-rolling 40c tubeless tires and a 1x11-speed crank set... We prefer Shimano GRX. Be prepared with at least two extra tubes, a multi-tool and mini-pump.
There will be feed zones, but smart riders will be self sufficient and bring at least two water bottles and their favourite nutritional supplies. And don’t take to the start line without a helmet on!
