More info and registration details:
Gran Fondo New York starts on the George Washington Bridge and rides North following Hudson River upstream on rural roads and through scenic towns. Riders will compete against each other and themselves on timed climbs which will count towards the King and Queen of Mountain competition. The featured climb of the event and Cima Coppi (highest point of the ride) is the nearly four mile climb up to Bear Mountain in Harriman State Park. After descending, the course will wind its way back, hitting more timed climbs before finishing in Weehawken with stunning NYC views. More details at GranFondoNY.com.
