La Grind is everything you love about gravel racing.

“Hands down (or up), the best feeling in bike racing. Bonus points when you get to be a part of an event that is doing genuine good, is welcoming, inviting and has support from the entire community we're racing in, which just so happens to be *the* gravel town.

All proceeds go to Handlebars of Hope, a cause that shares our love for bikes with those less fortunate. Let's get #everyoneonbikes #lagrindexperience #comerideyourheartout
