One of the most attractive challenges that a popular cyclist can face is, without a doubt, a Gran Fondo. Understood as a cycling tour that exceeds one hundred kilometres -and even two hundred on some occasions-, they are usually linked to the name of top cyclists, or to key routes in the history of our sport: you have them in Spain, you have them in Belgium, France or Italy, and you have them in Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
