I’ve had every kind of luck at Grinduro over the years. From heading home with a broken collarbone to winning the whole darn thing, I feel like I’ve seen it all. Similarly, this 2019 edition is a good example of how it is all wrapped up into one nice package there in Quincy, California. It somehow seems fitting that this year saw snow, sleet, hail, rain, and sun — the whole weather gamut just as the weekend offers the full gamut.

Come along for the ride on this King of the Ride video, above, as we first head to the Bay Area and catch up with friends atop Mt Tam during bleary eyed dawn patrol, nosh baked goods at my favorite CA bakery, and take in California in her early fall excellence.
