Gravel Fondo
Gravel Fondo Riders will also go for a treat but will get back to the village sooner to enjoy the pool with family and friends and of course the EXPO. This is a good route to pick up the pace and challenge yourself!
49 Miles. Enjoy The Village!
The Gravel Fondo is all about getting back to The Village and enjoy the pool with friends and family. Coming alone? Ride The Grit Route then!
Make sure to stop at the Big Cypress Boardwalk Trail and check out The Goethe Giant which is over 900 years old, and isΒ 105 feet tall.
The Grit Segment of the route (mile 34-36) will challenge your bike handling skills, equipment and will give you something to talk about at dinner! IT’S GRIT!
With a single water stop at mile 16, we highly recommend carrying enough fluids, nutrition and repair kit for the entire journey. All routes are SELF-SUPPORTED.
See you at The Village!
