About this event

Due to issues from storm damage in the Stanislaus National Forest the Groveland Grind will be held on June 24th, 2023. The Groveland Grind is a Yosemite Area Adventure Ride on mixed terrain(pavement, broken pavement, dirt and gravel)on Yosemite National Park’s doorstep!

Three amazing routes with amazing views to choose from- Ride the 48 miles Long route- The Rumble up to Trumbull(Peak), the 30 miles medium route or the 21 miles Short route through the majestic Stanislaus National Forest on historic sections of the original roads and railroads to Yosemite! Riders will experience everything the majestic Stanislaus National Forest has to offer; grinding climbs, challenging terrain and amazing views! We'll have an after ride party with food, beverages (including beer) plus a sweet raffle!
The event takes place at Yosemite Lakes RV Resort and Campground, 31191 Hardin Flat Rd., Groveland, CA, 5 miles from the entrance to Yosemite and next to the South Fork of the Tuolumne River! Groveland is just 2 to 3 hrs from San Jose/San Francisco/Santa Cruz/Sacramento and 1 to 2 hrs from the Central Valley.
