Life Time Gran Fondo
Open to beginner cyclists, families
and competitive cyclists alike, Gran Fondo (or “Big Ride”) events have become
increasingly popular in Europe and beyond for their long-distance,
mass-participation ride - versus race - format. New this year, the unique ride
offers a 60-mile course, 30-mile course and 15-mile course, all of which cover
a beautiful ride on the country roads through Mound, Orono, Watertown and
Delano. The day ends with a signature post-race Fondo Festival BBQ and awards
ceremony. Life Time Gran Fondo also partnered with the Minnesota High School
Cyling League to help support and promote personal development and teamwork
through mountain bike racing, and encourages the formation of teams at public
and private high schools.
