"The Palomar Granfondo" - are you up for the challenge?

Southern California meets Italy at the Giro di San Diego Gran Fondo, a celebration of cycling, food and San Diego's North Coast. Held in beautiful Escondido, CA, our two-day festival features five mass-start, timed cycling events for road and mountain bikers and the Bike & Fitness Expo.

The routes for this event will host many of the best rides in the North County as well as the most frequently traveled paths taken by the many professional athletes that ride in the area. These roads have challenged the wheels of riders such as Lance Armstrong, Chris Horner, Axel Merckx, Thurlow Rogers and many others.

The long Gran Fondo will also boast the fiercest of all climbs in San Diego, the south grade of Mt Palomar. This climb was featured on the 2009 Tour of California and will be our official KOM/QOM for the Gran Fondo course riders.

The giro is known for having challenging and picturesque routes, outstanding ride support, delicious food on course and a post-ride party!
