2023 Vermont Gran Fondo Custom Clothing Now on Sale

The Vermont Gran Fondo, arguably one of the toughest Gran Fondos in North America takes place June 24th

The 9^th Edition of the Vermont Gran Fondo (VTGF) challenges riders to take on the infamous 4-gap ride, known by locals as the LAMB ride. The name comes from the four climbs, known as gaps.

VTGF showcases the Green Mountain’s quiet, challenging climbs and breathtaking views. Hailed as the best road biking in New England, it has earned the status of the state with the most climbing on Strava.

The Gran course traverses the four gaps with 10,000+ feet of climbing back and forth across the spine of the Green Mountains, including the Lincoln Gap with an average grade of 17% with a max of 24%; named the steepest paved mile in the US featured by Global Cycling Network as one of the steepest climbs on the planet.

The Gran route is arguably one of the toughest Gran Fondos in North America.

There are several distances to suit all abilities of cyclists, if the views don’t take your breath away, the climbs will!

Such is its reputation; the Northeast’s top Gran Fondo attracts hundreds of cyclists from all over North America and internationally, especially those who love a real climbing challenge!

The 42-mile Piccolo Fondo has no gaps to climb and 9 miles of hard-packed gravel. The Piccolo will be a great ride for those who want an easier ride and soak up the atmosphere and still includes a healthy 2,700 feet of climbing.

For those looking for something a bit more challenging, the 80-mile Medio Fondo includes climbs of the Middlebury and Brandon Gaps, 9 miles of hard-packed gravel, and around 5500+ feet of climbing; it represents a real challenge in its own right!

From the very beginning, the Vermont Gran Fondo has always had a special emphasis on rider experience, testament to its sell-out status since it started!

There are fully stocked rest stops and toilets with the foods you expect at an endurance cycling event (PBJ, Hammer Fuels and Fluids, an assortment of fresh fruits), plus a variety of specialty treats.

The three amazingly scenic, challenging, and well-marked routes are signed marking every turn, with cue sheets, route maps at each rest stop, and course marshals to help guide you.

Typical support with rest stops at 20-25 mile intervals and Mechanical and sag support.

Afterward you can enjoy the much-loved après ride after-party with local food and brews while swapping stories and enjoying the sunset, all at the Bristol Recreation Club in Bristol, VT.

Enjoy local food, and locally-produced beverages (beer, of course!) in the massive party tent.

Entry into the party is included in your registration fee.

For those traveling from afar, there is a comprehensive list of local lodging options here for you to enjoy your experience and time in the Green Mountains of Vermont.
