Gravel racing takes place on unpaved roads using drop-bar bikes with wide tires. It is the fastest-growing segment of cycling. Marquee events include Unbound Gravel, SBT GRVL, and Belgian Waffle Ride.
What is a gran fondo?▾
A gran fondo is a long-distance mass-participation cycling event, typically 60-100+ miles. Unlike road races, gran fondos welcome riders of all levels. Popular US gran fondos include Gran Fondo Hincapie and GFNY New York.
