The granGABLE powered by Scheels is a mass-participation cycling event that combines all that is Hawkeye with good health, exercise, and a commitment to excellence.

Nobody embodies this more than legendary athlete and coach, Dan Gable. Through an incredible partnership between Coach Gable, the Iowa City/Coralville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Iowa Bicycle Coalition, and RAGBRAI (yes, the experts at RAGBRAI), the ride has emerged as a premier fondo in Iowa!

Ride with cyclists from all over the Hawkeye state (and beyond) on Monday, September 5, 2016.

NEW for 2016, we are hosting two route lengths. Choose from 60 miles or challenge yourself by training like Gable and riding 100 miles! All century finishers will earn the exclusive and highly sought after granGABLE completion medal. Specific details on the route will be announce in the upcoming weeks. So get registered, get training, and pedal for the medal.

Proceeds from the granGABLE fondo will benefit the Iowa Bicycle Coalition and Hawkeye Wrestling Club. Learn more about them by viewing their respective pages on our website.

The gear is almost as cool as the ride! The 2016 ride will give riders the option of a swag package or simple service pass for both the Gold and Silver routes.

Cue cards will be available at packet pickup and will list the turn-by-turn route, elevation, rest stop mileage, and rest stop closing times. There will also be an emergency number you can call if you break down or need assistance.

POST PARTY

Join us after the ride for a post party to celebrate your accomplishments outside of Kinnick Stadium. Relax with music, food and drink. Hang out with friends, family, and fellow finishers at this special event commemorating your accomplishment. Returning for the third year is a youth ride, free and open to the public. Post party location and more details will be announced as they become available.

Go Hawks, Ride Right, and On IOWA!
