Granfondo (organized 1-day event) Rides
Participation is open to recreational and competitive amateur cyclists. Usually the shortest route is open to all riders from age 15 or 16 up. The longer routes are open only to riders ages 18–65 holding a valid FCI (Italian Cycling Federation), UDACE or equivalent license from a cycling organization recognized by the UCI (International Cycling Union), such as the USCF (US Cycling Federation).
These are fully supported events, featuring food stops along the way, marshals to direct riders at turns and intersections (where they stop traffic for the participants!), skilled mechanics sweeping the route for riders needing repairs, and a big party at the finish line.
