Grinduro coming to Machynlleth

Post by crewlie »

After 3 years being held on Arran, Wales has pinched the 2020 Grinduro from us :YMTONGUE:
If it's run like the Scottish event has been, it should be a good weekend (although with poorer scenery :lol: ). It always seemed to be fairly expensive as these things go, so it'll be interesting to see if it's any cheaper without ferries involved.
As an event it was a good mix of social and riding with racing in there if you wanted, but not essential to have a good time.
No bikepacking involved, but familiar trails to many of us on here.

I knew it was coming to Wales but I'm slightly surprised that they picked Mach'. My money was on Brecon or Llandod.
May the bridges you burn light your way

Looks just like a throwback to the original Dyfi Enduros but on tamer trails :wink:

Reasonable package for volunteer marshals though if you're fairly local and not interested in entering as a rider.
We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.
