In a recent article on the La Sal Mountain Loop Road, Bicycling.com featured a photo by Moab local photographer Nick Badovinac and a paragraph describing the Gran Fondo Moab.

Also featured were two other prominent Moab road cycling events that use the Loop Road as well, the Moab Century Tour, and the Skinny Tire Festival.

“…the Gran Fondo Moab has completely changed my perspective on cycling.”

Gran Fondo Moab title sponsor BH Cycles is going to donate a 2011 RC1 frameset for our raffle!

Note: Raffle is for the frameset only. Complete bike pictured below.

“BH prides itself on continually evolving its leadership in bicycle technology. We obsessively develop and test new products and technologies that consistently lead athletes to the podium”

All riders will get one free raffle ticket with registration but can buy more for a chance to win this frame and other great prizes. The raffle proceeds go to the MTA (Moab Trails Alliance). Moab Trails Alliance is a registered 501 (c) 3 non-profit that works to expand  cycling opportunities for all abilities in Grand County.

Happy New Year from the folks at Gran Fondo Moab.

A great New Years resolution would be to sign up for the 2011 GFM and get your butt in shape for one of the best road rides around! We have some new sponsors signed up for 2011. Look for great prizes from Oakley, Continental Tires and more to come.
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Due to conflicting events, we have decided to move the Gran Fondo Moab to May 7th, 2011, in order to provide a better experience for GFM participants. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, while encouraging you to come on out to Moab on May 7th for what will be a stellar second event. Stay tuned to this site, or subscribe to our feed for notifications and the absolute latest GFM information.
