Join the JDRF Ride to Cure Diabetes team as we partner with the Hincapie Gran Fondo!JDRF riders, along with more than 2,000 avid cyclists, will join George Hincapie and other stars of the cycling world for
a challenging ride through the hills and valleys of upstate South Carolina and North Carolina.
Cyclists can choose from three routes in the scenic Blue Ridge foothills:
GRAN80 miles
MEDIO50 miles
PICCOLO15 miles
The Gran Fondo presents a challenge way beyond any other JDRF Ride with more than 8,300 feet of climbing! The Gran
and Medio routes are for experienced, well-trained cyclists who are comfortable riding narrow roads with long, steep hills
and twisting descents. Please note: this is not a Ride for beginners. JDRF recommends completing at least one century
ride before registering for the Gran Fondo.
All routes start together, but each route varies in distance and intensity.
