Riding the Grinduro Pennsylvania Course Through the Loyalsock State Forest

In this video, we preview the route for Grinduro PA 2024. This course starts in Hillsgrove, PA and travels through the surrounding Loyalsock State Forest. It is a beautiful area and a perfectly rugged route! The promoters hold true to their moto "perfect part to race ratio". The course has a great blend of gravel, double track, and some all out gnarly single track sporadically spread throughout! Everyone will find a stretch they love and a stretch they hate! hahaha!
The route is 70 miles and is recommended to be completed on a gravel bike with tubeless tires and no less than 40mm tires (I was running 29 x 2.2's). The event is June 7th - June 9th this year (2024) and you need to be registered by June 2nd. All proceeds go the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Cycling League helping get more kids on bikes! Check out their website for more details.
