ABOUT
Description
The Jurassic Gran Fondo is a spectacular ride through the heart of the Jurassic Coast and the beautiful Dorset countryside, the route combines quiet country lanes, sweeping descents and rewarding climbs to create a memorable day in the saddle.
Designed for riders who enjoy the journey as much as the challenge, the route flows through rolling countryside, picturesque villages and some of Dorset's finest cycling roads.
The climbs are steady rather than relentless, with every ascent rewarded by fast descents and stunning views across the surrounding landscape.
Whether you choose the 101km Gran Fondo route or the 56km Medio Fondo route, The Jurassic 100 Gran Fondo will offer a friendly and welcoming experience. The two routes split at 30km.
THIS EVENT WILL INCLUDE A SIGNED ROUTE, A FEED STATION, ON-COURSE MECHANICAL SUPPORT AND MEDICAL COVER.
