New York Gran/Medio Fondo: Are you in?

[Jo-n-NY]

Thanks for posting the link Maye. A group of our cyclists from Mineola Bike (not sure if you are familiar with the store) did the Grand Fondo last year. I didn't know they had a lesser route. I wouldn't mind giving it a try but I don't think my good friend would be able to swing the fee this year, maybe another year.

I gather the Medio Fondo goes no where near Bear Mtn. Do you know around where that route goes?

Thanks ~ JoAnn

There's a map on their website. It heads up north but turns around earlier than the 100 mile route.

Last year the Medio Fondo only went as far as Haverstraw.

Thank you!!! I will check it out and will look forward to hearing a report about the Medio Fondo ride. It will be a thought for a ride to do next year hopefully.

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.

Hi JoAnn,
Definitively didn't know about the Mineola Bike store and thanks for letting me know since I work in Mineola and live in Glen Cove. I have been living here since 2009 and I'm fairly new to the area. I would not dare to do the Gran Fondo with my experience and to be honest I'm a little bit nervous about the Medio Fondo but I'll get ready for it!!
As NY_Biker mentioned, they have the tentative route posted in their website. I'll post the link here in a few minutes.
