Σχετικά με τον αγώνα
Gran Fondo Québec begins and ends at 260 Rue d'Amsterdam in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Quebec, with riders departing on an August morning. The primary Gran Fondo route spans 122 kilometers, reflecting the Italian origin of the format: a long road-cycling “Big Ride” instead of a short circuit race.
The organizer characterizes the course as traveling “between river and nature,” offering a more tranquil road-ride atmosphere than an urban circuit. The day adheres to the Gran Fondo structure: early venue opening, a welcome address prior to the group start, arrivals near midday, and subsequent festivities. This format originated in Italy with Nove Colli and now attracts both competitive cyclists and recreational riders, similar to a marathon, with post-ride refreshments being a customary part of the event.
