The Mammoth Gran Fondo is ready for another year of fantastic riding, amazing scenery, and good vibes.

The Mammoth Gran Fondo was chosen as a “top-ten” bike ride by Bicycling Magazine for its “jaw-dropping vistas”. The event is September 7th, 2019 in Mammoth Lakes where you can find California’s highest four-season resort, Mammoth Mountain, and a cyclist’s playground.

For 26 years the Mammoth Gran Fondo has taken riders on one of the most scenic rides in North America with views of high Sierra peaks, past ancient volcanic craters, alongside an ancient alkaline sea and bubbling geothermal hot springs. There’s no other ride like it in the USA.

75 miles of the 102 mile Gran Fondo will be on roads closed to thru traffic.

70 miles will be on roads closed to thru traffic.

With 300 days of sunshine annually, the Eastern Sierra offers infinite cycling possibilities, with quiet roads and breath-taking scenic beauty all year long.
