Gran Fondo New York Adds Medio Fondo


Due to overwhelming requests, Gran Fondo New York will also offer a non-competitive Medio Fondo. The 71 mile/115km course features most of the spectacular features of the gran fondo including the George Washington Bridge, the charming Hudson River towns of Piermont and Nyack, three aid stations, two timed climbs and a stunning finish facing the midtown Manhattan skyline. The elevation gain is 2570ft/783m. Mapmyride information here.

According to Gran Fondo New York there are only a limited amount of Medio Fondo New York entries available.

The gran fondo distance is 107miles/172km and the elevation gain is 5400ft/1650m. Mapmyride information here.

The Gran Fondo New York is one of the events that make up the new UCI World Cycling Tour. Amateur cyclists now have the chance to earn a coveted UCI rainbow jersey.
