Gran Fondo<\/strong> is the cycling equivalent of the London Marathon with elite athletes starting in a Race (Gran Fondo Race) at the front followed by a Sportive (Gran Fondo Sportive). The Golazo Cycling Gran Fondos are held on Closed Roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn the Race Gate there are 18 separate races one for each of the UCI Masters Age \/ Gender Classifications. A current Race License will be required for those who want to be racing against their own UCI age \/ gender groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Sportive Gate there are 5 different estimated speed pens for riders to start in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Race Gate and the Sportive Gate make up the Gran Fondo. The Golazo Cycling Gran Fondos are fully supported* and produced to make riders feel like a Pro for the day. The first three of each age \/ gender classification, in the Race Gate, are invited to receive medals and prizes on the podium. A number of the Golazo Cycling Gran Fondo events are part of the UCI Gran Fondo World Series meaning that they are qualifying events for the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
