New Gran Fondo Cycling Series Launched
Posted On: April 11, 2018 By :
ASD has launched Fondo Cycling Circuit USA, a series of six Gran Fondo-style cycling events offering 30-, 50- and 75-mile ride options with live music, food trucks and a craft beer festival following each event. Several timed sections along each route will offer a competitive element for cyclists looking for a challenge.
The 2018 series will visit the following cities:
- Aug. 5 – Davidson, North Carolina
- Aug. 26 – Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
- Sept. 30 – Clermont, Florida
- Oct. 14 – Akron, Ohio
- Oct. 21 – Fredericksburg, Virginia
- Oct. 28 – Ridgeland, Mississippi
“Our host cities are all highly regarded cycling destinations within their respective geographical regions,” said Steve Meckfessel, national series director for FCCUSA. “Each location is also a draw for entertainment, historical, cultural and recreational reasons and within a two- to three-hour drive of major metropolitan areas.”
ASD is a subsidiary of Asdeporte, producers of L’Etape by Tour de France, Ironman, Spartan Race and the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series events in Mexico. Meckfessel, a former event director and senior executive for Ironman, manages ASD’s Tampa office and will oversee FCCUSA.
