New York Gran/Medio Fondo: Are you in?

[Maye]

I've heard this is a great ride. I'm going to check out Gran Fondo NJ this year. I already signed up for medio in September.

Good to know there's also a GF in NJ. I'm going to check that one as well.

Thanks for posting the link. I think I'll do it. It's nice that they have 4 different kind of events (Breve, Piccolo, Medio and Gran Fondo) and that's cool.

I just moved to NJ and live near the southern-most part of the course. Let me know if you want to ride as it gets closer and good luck at the Gran Fondo NY!

DH and I have signed up for the Gran Fondo and are very excited. I wanted to do it last year but I had my knee scoped and wasn't able to recover in time, so I feel like I've been waiting to do this for a long time!

Ladies,
I'm so sorry to say that I can't do the Medio Fondo since the information project that I was working in NY was cancelled last Thursday after 3 years of hard work. That's what happens in government unfortunately. OMG this was so sudden that I'm still digesting the facts that I have to call movers, box everything (bike included of course) and head down to Orlando FL, which is where my house is. I was living here in a corporate apartment. Now, I'll have to find events there and who knows if they have a GF in Orlando. Good luck for the ones participating in this great event.

I will still visit this thread to see who else will participate.

This is a totally different Grande Fondo and it's becoming very popular. Ride along the Sea to Sky Highway (about 100 km or abit more) from VAncouver and Whistler. It is one of the most scenic routes in Canada on the road, since there are mountains and ocean strait/sound at every turn.

It's become an annual ride.
