List of Grand Fondos

[Aspen]

Does anyone know if there is a list/website compiling all of the Grand Fondos in the U.S. and abroad?

The Moab thread has me thinking about doing one, maybe that one.

May 1 2010 in the St Louis area: Vino Fondo (http://bigshark.com/about/2010-vino-fondo-pg717.htm)

(BTW, I would not call the Schluersberg climb "majestic," it's just a hill.)

The pic they refer to is from the Tour of MO

==================================================

The Ride. We will have three different routes. All of these will start and finish at the same point and include the majestic Schluersberg.

The Mondo Fondo- 132 miles, snaking from Augusta, Missouri to Hermann, Missouri and back. With 12,000 feet of climbing the grapes won't be the only thing whining.

The Midi Fondo- 75 miles, 5700 feet of climbing. From Augusta, past Daniel Boone's home, and up and over the historic route of the Missouri State Championship Road Race.

The Mini Fondo-25 miles, 2,600 feet of climbing. For those looking for a less intense day with a few challenging climbs. The image below is of Alberto Contador on the Schleursberg doing an earlier version of the Vino Fondo.

The latest Bicycle Mag had some on them. WHen I was in Barnes and Nobel (my library for bike and auto) they had one of the VELO NEWS Or ROAD with a write up on them also.


I am doing the Santa Rosa CA one in the fall. Even using Marriott points for the hotel. Hopefully my wife will join me for the week (ride is only a day but there are so so many wineries to check out.) :beer:
