Gran Fondo National Series and Rouvy Announce Results for 2025 E-Fondo Series
Gran Fondo National Series today announced the series-end results for the 5th Annual E-Fondo Series, a 6-event series of competitive cycling events hosted on Rouvy’s virtual cycling platform
This year’s E-Fondo Series was presented by Wahoo, highlighting the long-standing relationship between Gran Fondo National Series and Wahoo Fitness.
The E-Fondo Series p/b Wahoo featured timed segment competitions like Gran Fondo National Series’ real-world events. E-Fondo Series events were hosted weekly on the Rouvy indoor cycling app from January 19, 2025 through February 23, 2025.
Routes and Competition Format
Routes for the E-Fondo Series featured video footage captured on real Gran Fondo Series courses, allowing riders to preview in-person events and experience the terrain using smart trainer technology. There were three timed segments on each E-Fondo Series course, and a rider’s cumulative time through the three segments determined his or her competition result. The overall ride time from Start-to-finish in these events was not counted toward the competition, only segment times are used for results.

#GFNats Qualification
Riders had the opportunity to qualify for the 2025 USA Cycling Gran Fondo National Championships p/b Ourisman Automotive event in Frederick, Maryland, on September 14, 2025, based on their standings in the E-Fondo Series Points Competition. A rider who completes at least four events and was in the top 15% of the Points Competition qualified for the 2025 USA Cycling Gran Fondo National Championships. Completion of the E-Fondo Series (i.e., riding at least 4 events) also counted as completing one (1) in-person SUAREZ Gran Fondo National Series event for the purposes of #GFNats qualification and the 2025 Series Points competition.
Gran Fondo National Series Event Director, Reuben Kline, was pleased with turnout for the E-Fondo Series and the cooperation from Rouvy. “We have hosted the E-Fondo Series for 5 years across three different indoor cycling platforms,” said Kline. “Rouvy was an outstanding technology partner for the E-Fondo Series, particularly with their ability to digitize our real-world courses, incorporate timed-segment racing, and include custom graphics during events.”
