ENVE Grodeo Ride Photo Gallery and Recap
I first heard about the Grodeo back in 2019. It was a ride designed to showcase ENVE’s growing gravel lineup of wheels, handlebars and forks on the terrain where the equipment was first proven. Held on the same weekend as the inaugural ENVE Builder Round-Up, just 40 riders enjoyed the 88-mile ride in the Wasatch Mountains just east of ENVE HQ. The team at ENVE planned to kick off a more formal Grodeo ride in 2020, although it never materialized like dozens of other events that year due to Covid. That set the stage for 2021, giving the team plenty of time to perfect the course and plan for a ride that would host up to 200 riders. Attending 2021 ENVE Grodeo and Builder Round-Up was a highlight of my year. Not only was the 100-mile course an amazing ride enjoyed alongside a small community of like-minded riders, but the Builder Round-Up turned out to be an incredible compliment to the entire weekend experience, featuring 36 custom bikes and the opportunity to meet their makers.
Today I’m pleased to share a never-before-seen collection of photos from the ride on the same day ENVE has opened registration for the 2022 Grodeo. If you’re looking for a premium gravel event experience without the big crowds in a beautiful part of the US don’t miss the Grodeo, I highly recommend it!
