Grinduro Wales
The Grinduro tour, hosted by Canyon, will be setting up in the market town of Machynlleth (known as Mach to its’ friends) in Powys, North Wales. Originally known as the ancient capital of Wales, it’s now the capital of alternative technology.
On Saturday 24th July, the Welsh Grinduro experience will roll out of town and across the River Dyfi before heading up towards the start of the Climachx mountain bike trails and into Dyfi Forest. Well known for it’s epic views across the mountains and valleys, Grinduro will take you into the wilderness and beyond.
If you aren’t familiar with the Grinduro gravel-enduro format, this is what it entails:
The 100km loop through the Dyfi Forest and beyond, will feature Grinduro’s magic formula – a combination of gravel road race and mountain bike-style enduro: one long loop of pavement, gravel, and dirt, where finishing times are based on four timed segments (each roughly 7 – 12 minutes). As a testament to both the diverse riding skills required and the level of competition, past editions have been won by former professional downhill racers, pro road racers and current cyclocross pros.
But Grinduro is not just a bike race. It’s a celebration of cycling with as much emphasis on the fun as on the ride, with excellent food, an impressive display of art and incredible handmade bikes, live music, camping and a festival atmosphere.
