Routes

All routes start at 6:30 a.m. the Sea Otter Classic bridge. The Gran Fondo offers two road route options and while these are rides, not races, some cyclists enjoy challenging themselves with regard to their finish time. All routes will be chip-timed, so those wishing to may share their times with family and friends.
 
Below are general descriptions of the routes. Maps and turn-by-turn directions are provided in the 2013 Gran Fondo Guide.
 
COASTAL ROUTE (49.3 miles)
 
CARMEL VALLEY ROUTE (96 miles)
