GRAN FONDO: 102 MILES
Fun, challenging, and breathtaking! With a start and finish elevation of 8,074 feet and 6,804 feet of total climbing, this beautiful ride is challenging, but manageable. Although there's plenty of uphill climbs on this very scenic route, they are nicely spaced-out with long, fast descents in between to recharge you for the next one.
