Bicyclists will ride in the Second Annual Texas Gran Fondo Bicycle Race in Fredericksburg and around the Hill Country this Saturday.
This is a non-competitive, fully-supported timed ride. Many consider Fredericksburg “The Cycling Capital of Texas.”
The race will begin at 8 a.m. at Marktplatz, at the corner of Adams and Austin streets and will also end at that location.
Gran Fondo consists of three different bicycle races through the Hill Country:
• Gran Fondo, 100 miles;
• Medio Fondo, 65 miles;
• Piccolo Fondo, 36 miles.
All three routes will finish in downtown Fredericksburg on Main Street, where everyone is invited to the post-ride party.
Race registration fees are:
Gran Fondo — $120;
Medio Fondo — $100;
Piccolo Fondo — $90.
