King of the Ride: Grinduro, California's Gravel Adventure Ride
Спорт
Grinduro, baby! This weekend gravel bike spectacular is the OG of gravel events with designated "race zones" and a whole lot of fun in between. Taking place high up in Quincy, CA, Ted, Laura, and friends head to the high Sierras in 2019 in hopes of taking a consecutive win at Grinduro having taken top honors in 2018. The fun times don't start there, however. Ted and Laura lived in the San Francisco Bay Area before moving to Vermont and any visit to CA is a reason to see their old stomping grounds, catch up with friends, and take a rip up the hallowed Mount Tamalpais.

As I sit eating breakfast prepping for a ride I know is going to max me out here in Austria, I find myself watching these videos to get psyched for the part of the day that is really going to be hard.
The rides and riding community presented are inspiring.
Ive was here 2 years ago for a couple of days, definitely wanna come back and explore the area more, so beautiful!
Cold, wet and miserable here in Ireland. This just made me feel colder, wetter and miserabler. I love your vids Ted, You've made me get a gravel bike . Keep them coming please.

Great video, great event; these type of films inspire you to get out on your bike - even when the weather is pretty awful.
Great video Ted! You and your team do an amazing job of giving us mortals the true flavor of all of these gravel events. Kudos! My favorite moment of my 2019 season was being on the course of the DK50 when you and all of the guys on the podium blew past us. To say we were the bottom of the mullet is a an understatement. Can’t wait todo it again at LandRun. Cheers to you and your growing family! Thanks for sharing the love of cycling.
I too rode Grinduro in this year. It was SO HARD uphill and the final single track descent was SO GNARLY. Fun ride overall.
That looks like a bucket list ride, thanks for sharing!
As always a great video, and love that you show all parts of a ride/race. Thanks for sharing!
Just. Freakin’. Awesome. Top notch as always Ted! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for another great video, Ted. Your videos remind me that there is a community of people out there that... just love bikes and enjoy riding. Cheers.
Incredible event and vid production. Thanks for sharing!
Like he knew what time was sunrise, good job.
LOVE IT! Great video made me smile and very much want to do this event.
Such a rad video. Gotta be one of the most inspiring channels on KZread - fantastic videos Ted. Saw last week that Grinduro is coming to Switzerland next year, so this just has me excited for a new event!
Awesome production on the vid, great shots ! Keep em coming !
Sweet.... That sunrise was dope! Thanks 👍🏻
Spectacular. Love from France

Well done. Nice edit. Love a vid that just makes ya want to ride.
Love your work/posts Ted!!
I really enjoy your videos about cycling, well done, I watch some cookie cycling videos , so far Ted you are above and much more interesting contents
Great editing! Great ride Teddy!
Ted This is an awesome channel! I wish you could put out more videos like this !!!
Sweet video, thanks TK.
Awesome job with this video. Such quality capture, editing and commentary. The getting up at reveille is so painful, but if you miss it, you miss out on some of the best moments riding at sunrise, IMO. Man, that Dawn Patrol looks amazing.
Wow that looks so cool!!!
again a sick video ted
thxs for the free content ted
Good times!!!
looks like a kickass time
Love it
Great video, enjoy these. I have a Topstone on order (not my first Cannondale) while I’m waiting I watch you. Thanks.
Yes Ted! have been waiting for this one :)
wonderful
Great vid! For me, gravel is great fun, also we can get away from the dictatorship of UCI. Just ride whatever bike you like, no big brother.
Great content, just starting to take bicycling seriously. I'm lovin it, gravel rambling is the best way to go. Not pretention, just ramblin.
And there's kate, just goofing around on her mtn bike, lol.
Good afternoon Ted, thanks for the channel and the content. Recent subscriber, really enjoying it. DK200 is on my bucket list. Could you let me know which lace up Giro shoes you are using please? I race a lot of XC marathon and multi day events and I'm looking for lightness, with comfort and I'm sick of snapping Boa cables. If you are ever in Spain, you'll be most welcome! Ride On! Tim
Sub after watching your 310miles epic ride. This one is nice, too.
More. Videos. Please. ❤️
Nothing shouts "STEAL ME!!" more than a nice looking bike. It's a sad reality. Even with the best bike lock, there are people cruising around with the tools to quickly cut it and take your bike if you leave it unattended for a few seconds.
My favorite moment is when he was riding no handed, removing his rain coat, on a dirt road.
09:28 cycling in a shirt.. Nice 👍
i'm in !
Stage 4 looked like Ocho fork territory, If only Cannondale were working on a Topstone Ocho combo ;)
Hey Ted, what bike is that you're riding? Seems to have nice tire clearance.
3:29 Mt. Diablo
👍
Hi Ted. Did you race on 650b? It looks like your race whip had 650b's if so how did you like them? Pro's? Con's? to racing on 700c's?

owen Vermeulen yes those were 650. I haven’t raced that sized tire since the 2017 Dirty Kanza. But I freaking LOVE those wheels, especially for a race like this that has everything. The 48c tires were awesome. Impressive fast, conveniently deft.
Ted King you're a great anchorman - narrator? ;)
2nd👊
3.30 wow
That I beam is in such a terrible spot...
8:30 Kate Courtney 😍😍😍

Ted, it looked like you were running tubes. If so, why? If not how did you flat twice during the second sector?
