Gran Fondo Winthrop

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every year that begins at 8:00 am on day third of September, repeating until September 20, 2025

Gran Fondo Winthrop takes you deep into the North Cascades and dishes out a whopping 10.000’+ of climbing. There’s a reason we save this one for the end!

Note: This event is limited to 200 and is pre-registration only.

Warning! This ride is HARD and is intended for experienced cyclists. There will be 10,000+′ of climbing and descending (which is A LOT), much of which is on rough Forest Service roads. Weather is a big gamble at 7000′ in Sept.

Course Map: Look at the elevation profile, miles, intersections…. it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with it so you know where your at. Even better; you can down load it directly to your Garmin or smart phone.

What you get: You will receive a super cool limited edition Gran Fondo Winthrop t-shirt, a well thought out, and well marked course to ride, well stocked aid stations to refuel at, and a meal to refuel post ride. We will also post the times of all finishers for bragging rights.

Route: The course is designed to give riders a glimpse of some very mountainous, out of the way parts of North Central Washington. In the spirit of remote and rustic Washington, much of the route is primitive Forest Service roads. There will be four aid stations at approx. mile 14, 26, 48, and 63. These will also serve as bail out points. We will not have sag vehicles roaming the course as it is not practical or safe on these mountain roads.

Gear: With so many variable course conditions it is hard to say what’s right or wrong. Road, cross, or mtb, any one will work, but all will have a disadvantage at some point. I’m running my Raleigh Roker with BIG tires, as in 40+. There will be LOTS of climbing so plan accordingly. There will be a few sag wagons and an aid station, but it’s a good idea to be somewhat self sufficient. Weather is always something to consider with this type of ride. It may be 70 and sunny, but high in the mountains anything can happen. Bring on the adventure baby!

Where to stay in Winthrop? Pine Near RV Park of course! Super friendly and at the finish line. Another option: North Cascades Mountain Hostel–Affordable communal accommodations.
