Big Climbs, Great People, and an Unforgettable Weekend
Some events are about the results. Others are about the experience.
Mountains to Meadows/Grinduro in Quincy continues to be one of those rare weekends that perfectly blends incredible riding, friendly competition, live music by Nathan Ignacio, and an amazing cycling community. From the moment riders rolled into Quincy until the final celebrations wrapped up on Sunday afternoon, the atmosphere was everything we’ve come to love about this event—laid-back, adventurous, and full of passionate cyclists with maybe a few bevie deliveries with an RC Car.
White Industries was proud to be there, connecting with riders, supporting racers, and celebrating what makes the cycling so special.
A Weekend Built Around Adventure
Quincy’s endless forest roads, sweeping mountain views, and challenging terrain once again delivered an unforgettable course and a tough one. Riders tackled long climbs( Stage One was tough), flowing descents, and fast gravel roads that tested both fitness and equipment.
Whether participants were chasing podium spots in the timed segments or simply soaking in every mile, everyone shared the same incredible playground.
One of the best parts of Grinduro has always been that it’s about more than racing. It’s about the people you meet, Wildcat Rich, the stories shared around camp, and the memories made long after crossing the finish line.
Aid Station Support
Throughout Saturday, we were on course supporting riders. The Aid station was buzzing with fun dance music, familiar faces, longtime customers, and plenty of new riders discovering White Industries for the first time.
Big thanks to Dr. Robb, Greg and Darrin for participating in the SparkleFest at our Aid Station! The Best Zoolander poses of the weekend!
It was fantastic to see everyone take it to the limit and then stop for all the snacks and maybe some glitter for extra watts(wink wink). Thanks to everyone who stopped by and chatted, danced and have a good ol’ time.
We especially enjoyed hearing stories from riders whose White Industries hubs, cranks, and freewheels have been spinning reliably for thousands—and sometimes tens of thousands—of miles. Those conversations are a reminder of why we build products designed to last.
Built for Events Like This
Events like Grinduro remind us why we do what we do.
The miles are long. The terrain is demanding. The weather can change in an instant from sunny and lovely to sunny and WIIIIIINDDDDY!
Your components need to disappear beneath you—working flawlessly so you can focus on the ride, the scenery, and the experience.
That’s the philosophy behind every product that leaves our Petaluma, California facility. Precision machining, thoughtful engineering, and long-term reliability aren’t just features—they’re the foundation of every White Industries component.
Until Next Year
To everyone who stopped by the aid station, got their face painted by the world’s worst face painter, shared stories, asked questions, or simply said hello—thank you.
We always leave Grinduro inspired by the people who make this community so welcoming and passionate. It’s events like these that remind us cycling is about more than bikes. It’s about the adventures we share and the friendships we build along the way.
We can’t wait to do it all again next year.
Until then, keep exploring new roads, chasing new adventures, and riding the equipment that’s built for the long ride.
