We'll close this season with a word from one of our longest serving board members, “To every rider who pedaled through the dust, every family member who cheered them on, and every local business that supported us—thank you,”said Bob Bonomo. “The Groveland Grind is more than an adventure ride. It’s a celebration of community and the natural beauty of the place we call home.”
The 6th Annual
Groveland Grind
Join us for the 6th Annual Groveland Grind, an exhilarating adventure ride on mixed terrain just outside Yosemite National Park! Next year’s event will offer three route options, each packed with challenging climbs, stunning vistas, and fresh mountain air. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or new to adventure cycling, the Groveland Grind has something for everyone.
The excitement doesn’t end at the finish line! After the awards ceremony, celebrate with a lively after-party featuring live music, delicious food, cold beverages (yes, beer!), and a chance to win great raffle prizes. This is more than just a ride—it’s a celebration of community, outdoor recreation, and the joy of cycling.
The 6th Annual Groveland Grind is held by the Groveland Trail Heads Mountain Bike Club in conjunction with Bear Race Events, Aspen Outdoor Management Services and Yosemite Lakes under a special use permit from the Stanislaus National Forest.

Mid Route
The scenic 30 mile (48km) mid route is only moderate when compared to our Summit Route. This option is an epic cross country adventure ride that crawls its way up to scenic vistas and through historic ranch land passing two fully stocked aid stations with 3000 feet (910m) of elevation gain.

Short Route
Our 21 mile (34km) Short Route is great for beginners! With less than 2200 feet (671m) of elevation gain, the short route is a great way to acclimatize to our higher elevations or test the limits of your new bike!
