The VBC has been doing the “Gran Fondo” for a few years where we’ve intentionally had a lot of pace groups available in one ride. Please join us in one of the pace groups/distances listed below.

And…just for kicks, from the experts at Wikipedia:
A Gran Fondo is a type of long-distance road cycling ride originating in Italy in 1970, and roughly translates into English as "Big Ride".
