Cyclists drooled over the new Bill Bone Burger Fondo

The Burger Fondo presented by CONTE'S BIKE SHOP, took place in sunny Boca Raton, Florida on Sunday April 18th

Several hundred riders turned up early on a spring morning at CONTE’S BIKE SHOP in Boca Raton on Sunday April 18th to ride one of two routes that catered for cyclists of all abilities. They enjoyed perfect sunny spring weather with clear skies and a light tropical ocean breeze blowing in.

The unique format for the 90km Burger Fondo had two timed sections allowing riders to compete for awards across a range of age categories for both men and women.

The timed segments were each 25 kilometres long and flat, really suiting fast riders and fast bikes. Timing was provided by Extreme Sports Productions Inc who specialize in cycling, (gravel, Gran Fondo, time trial, road event, criterium) timing & scoring services.

The peloton rolled out early in the morning by a police escort and police-controlled intersections at stop lights too.

In between, the format allowed participants to enjoy the ride, ride safely, work in a group and soak up the beautiful warm, sunny ocean-side scenery along the way, including the enjoyment of riding on the AIA & Ocean Ave as ride headed north towards West Palm Beach and back.
