Over 3,000 Customer Service Enquires Answered

2024 saw over 3,000 cyclists contact us for help with participating in events, including registration, race formats, travel and accommodation plans.

Gran Fondo Guide founder Mark Harding commented, "With the help of event organizers, I'm really proud we are able to support our growing cycling community. In many cases we answered enquiries the same day, on average 3 a day. We're helping people navigate their own journey through cycling."

"There's a lot of cyclists out there who have had a very prompt, helpful and friendly customer service experience with us. Event organizers have been fantastic in that experience."

After a Decade, we're Forging a New Path

He continued, "2024 was an exceptionally busy year as participation in events continues to grow, despite retailers struggling with over supply issues after the pandemic."
 
"Over the last 10 years, we've built up a "Bucket List" following of over 9,000 cyclists across 4,000 events with nearly 26,000 weekly newsletter subscribers and over 25,000 followers online."
 
"Having examined all the data and feedback from our 50,000+ followers, we have decided to forge ahead on a new path."
 
"In late 2024 we successfuly launched the first industry MLP (Machine Learning Program) into the cloud that we call Bucket List AI. It's our own AI engine that drives the whole site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year."

2025 Gran Fondo Guide Awards

This year we award and recognize rides in North America where organizers, sponsors, volunteers and communities have come together to go beyond the call of duty to put on incredible events, break new ground and raise vital funds for worthy causes.

This year, especially in North American Gravel, we have done extensive research in our quest to highlight and recognize some really underated events.

As a symbol of freedom and a heathly and sustainable lifestyle, there is no better icon than the bicycle, arguably one of the most efficient means of transportation ever invented. It's Eco credentials are a shining example in a world that is coming to terms with climate change, net zero-carbon, protecting the environment, sustainability and our health and wellbeing.

Cycling is still seeing a surge in the number of riders taking up the sport from Millennials, Gen Z's and older Gen X's realising what they've been missing!

A century ride is a badge of honor among cyclists. Get ready to suffer amidst scenic views over the course of 100 miles and then celebrate your achievement. 

Century Rides have traditionally been the backbone of road cycling, supported and sponsored by local cycling clubs across the country. A century ride is of course 100 miles in distance, but most events support different distances, for all abilities.
