Welcome!
The 2010 Levi Leipheimer King Ridge GranFondo holds all the promise of its inaugural running, with a renewed focus on delivering more fun and festivities along the way. We offer three routes of varying distance and challenge, but the most difficult and longest of these, the Gran route, is sold out. Registration is still open for the 65-mile Medio and 32-mile Piccolo routes, but these spots are going fast! We hope you’ll commit to another day of stunning vistas, epic terrain, grand discovery, and exceptional rider support. The 2010 GranFondo awaits!
A Gran Day!
6,000 riders will set out from Santa Rosa, California on October 9, 2010 in a start that will strain the edges of the streets. On all routes, riders will stream through town with law enforcement handling rolling closures and intersection monitoring, ensuring safety and swift passage for riders. Out on the course, rest stops will be located approximately every 12 miles with great food and beverages, mechanical support, and toilets. In between, we’ll have full motor support and EMTs in case of emergency or the need to abandon and catch a ride for you and your bike back into town. Once the pedaling is done, all riders and their families can enjoy an excellent meal, a frosty beer, local wine, live music, kid’s events, and a huge vendor exhibition back in Santa Rosa!
Ride with Levi
Levi Leipheimer’s King Ridge GranFondo is a challenging, long distance, mass-participation cycling event that welcomes professional, amateur, and recreational cyclists of all abilities. While not strictly competitive, our rides are timed to ensure cyclists complete the entire course and have some way to gauge their performance along the route. This is not a race, and no awards are given for finishing first. It is an opportunity to push yourself in some of the greatest cycling country this continent has to offer. Best of all? You get to ride with Levi himself!
