The Galena Grinder is a classic Idaho mountain bike race! This challenging course in an amazing and historic setting separates this event from others like it. Racers will tackle tough climbs and blazing descents on a mixture of classic and modern single track and a few forest service roads. Beginning in 2021 we added a youth course for our younger racers.
