Red Granite Grinder

Ready for adventure? With more gravel than ever before, riders are treated with miles upon miles on red granite, a gravel rider’s dream. Our routes are designed to give riders the chance to fully experience rural Central Wisconsin passing by dairy farms, over pristine rivers & creeks, through beautiful canopies of hardwoods during peak fall colors, while rolling over red granite aka red gold.

This event is part of the Ironbear 1000 which highlights Wisconsin’s epic gravel.

Bring friends & family for the weekend’s festivities (see more info below).

The Red Granite Grinder was rated by Strambecco as one of the top three cycling events in Wisconsin!

Supported by the City of Wausau and Village of Rib Mountain.
