Mammoth Gran Fondo Remote Get-Away


  • Bicycle Club of Irvine P.O. Box 50206 Irvine, CA 92619-0206 (map)

A significant number of BCI Riders signed up to attend last year so we are making this an official remote ride!
Most are heading up on Thursday to get an extra night sleeping at elevation, then participating in the Friday acclimation rides to get used to riding at altitude, then riding on the Gran Fondo or Medio or Piccolo on Saturday and celebrating / recovering the night to head home Sunday.
The rides on Saturday are the Gran Fondo: 102 miles, Medio: 70 miles and Piccolo: 42 miles
If you typically do BCI’s medium rides, you’ll probably want to do the “Piccolo”.
For all the information,
see the post in PaceLines
