Flannel Grinder 2025

Due to the Yankee Jims bridge project, we have been developing new route options for 2025. We’re sad to miss out on the iconic Yankee Bridge this year, but we are working on a couple of routes that will involve a bit more road than in the past and will also add a bit more climbing. The levels of beauty and remoteness will remain pretty similar, so you can rest assured that the flannel will still be the right attire for the ride.

The Flannel Grinder is that one time of year when we take a deep breath and chill out together. It’s a time to come together as a cycling community and remember why we love riding bikes: It gives us freedom and makes us feel like kids again. Swapping spandex kits for flannels REALLY helps embrace that vibe, and we’ve had many surprised participants share that feedback with us after the event. This event is not easy, but it’s also not meant to be ‘epic’. There’s plenty of that on the calendar to check that box for you. Join us! Take your time. Enjoy the views! Enjoy the waterfalls.
