They have three distances, so you have no excuses!

So... Who is in?!

I think I am doing the one here in Chattanooga in May.

Mark Hickman · March 14, 2018 1:09AM

Bummer...a year too late; moving to the PNW in July/August

Paul Hough · March 14, 2018 2:05AM

I'm doing the Gran Fondo Florida (Mar 25) and possibly Gran Fondo Georgia (May 5). And if I get really ambitious I'll go back to Boone, NC for the Gran Fondo there (Aug 4). I've done all three before.

@Jeff Horn
BUMMER! Maybe we will choose that one next year - let me know how it goes!

Mariah Bridges · March 14, 2018 1:52PM

@Mark Hickman

Two killer Gran Fondo options for future reference:

Garrett County MD (end of June)

Harrisonburg VA (end of Sept or early Oct depending on the year)

Greenville is awful far for me, but I'll give it a serious look!

Mariah Bridges · April 11, 2018 1:34PM

Ok come on people- lets do this!

Mariah Bridges · April 11, 2018 1:35PM

@Clark Mitchell
lets choose one of those for next year!

scott dinhofer · April 11, 2018 3:56PM

I can be talked into this... are we setting up a team hotel ? EG, can we get a group rate code?

Sheila Leard · April 11, 2018 3:59PM

Maybe be some West Coast EN interest?

Scott Imlay · April 11, 2018 5:45PM

Dang, @Sheila Leard, the Levi's Gran has 9,030 ft of elevation gain! Sounds like fun!

Robert Sabo · April 12, 2018 3:58PM

Levi's has some beautiful roads. TOC 2016 followed a lot of it and it was probably my favorite ride. Wine Tour of Cali anyone?

Mark Maurer · April 13, 2018 2:42PM

I've always wanted to do Levi's Gran since I heard about it, so I'd consider it. Susan and I did Coeur d'fondo last year and it was good and worth considering as well. http://cdagranfondo.com

I'll throw this out there for anyone who would like to experience some great riding in Kentucky. I've participated the past two years and you can get in three solid days of riding and bite off as much as you want. It's a great opportunity to experience Central Kentucky and Southern hospitality.

Ok who is IN for Hincapie? I want to make sure we all have the right training blocks inside EN and maybe I can get some fun sponsorship stuff or rent a house?

Ralph Moore · June 9, 2018 11:33AM

I am in. Distance TBD. It is close for me and cooler times of the year work better for me too.

Mariah Bridges · July 10, 2018 2:52PM

@Ralph Moore
YASSSSSSSSSS

Dave Campbell · August 3, 2018 4:24PM

Looking and interested! Do we have a list of who's in and what distances?
