***What is a fondo?***

Gran Fondo is an Italian term which loosely translates to "Big Ride." Gran Fondo's are mass participation cycling events that have enjoyed incredible popularity in Europe for decades and have become popular in North America, Asia, Australia and increasingly, worldwide. Our fondo will be very laid back with an emphasis on fun!
