Grinduro Arran 15 July

Gravel racing is a big thing in the US these days and one of the biggest events is the Grinduro which is a combination of gravel racing and mountain bike style enduro.It seems they will be hosting a race outside the US this year and it will be in Arran. Basically there are 4 timed stages, in the middle of a longer ride. Each timed stage varies - fireroad climb, fireroad descent, a road stage and a singletrack stage so it rewards different types of fitness / skills (and choice of bike) - you'll save time on the singletrack and descent on a mountain bike, but the road and climb will be quickest on a cx

 

Anyway here is the website, not much details about the Arran event yet https://grinduro.com/

 

Here are some photos from the Californian one here  http://theradavist.com/2016/10/soakin-in-sierra-nevada-at-giros-grinduro

Open for entry now and quite steep at £150 (although that also includes camping, entertainment and food)

 

Not sure if i'll enter (not got a suitable bike yet) but the trails and forest roads look pretty good in the video so if i dont do it as part of this would be up for a DIY version with the club at some point

There can never be enough Arran challenges !!!

 

After you bag the double on 29-4-17 you can invent another :)

 

Still waiting on Paul L checking out a cross bike up Goatfell so we can have a road single followed by an ascent of Goatfell to make a new DA Ohyadancer!
