Gran Fondo Hincapie is heading to five unique cycling destinations for its 2025 Gran Fondo event series – with events designed to offer participants… ‘a cycling celebration that is approachable for all rider levels, safe, and family friendly.’
Cyclists can choose to ride the paved roads of Merced, CA; Chattanooga, TN; Lehigh Valley, PA; Bentonville, AR; or Greenville, SC, throughout the 2025 calendar year.
Each event offers scenic routes mapped and tested by former US pro cyclist George Hincapie himself. Backed by 30 years of event experience, the Gran Fondo Hincapie event team adds that it offers a cycling experience for every type of rider, with multiple distance options offered: a shorter Piccolo, a mid-length Medio, or a longer Gran ride.
“The Gran Fondo Hincapie series has always been about more than just the ride; it’s about bringing together a community of cyclists who share a passion for the sport and the camaraderie that comes with it,” said George Hincapie.
“We designed our Gran Fondo to be challenging yet rewarding, offering stunning routes, excellent support, and a festive atmosphere that celebrates the love of cycling. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a weekend warrior, we want every participant to feel a sense of accomplishment and be part of something special. We look forward to another year of great rides, strong community, and unforgettable memories.”
Gran Fondo Hincapie and the City of Bentonville are also working together to grow Bentonville into a road cycling destination to complement the region’s existing gravel and mountain biking reputation.
With multi-day cycling celebrations featuring scenic rides, live music, and a family festival, food, and drinks, thousands of cycling pros, celebrities, weekend warriors, and first-time riders have participated in Hincapie Gran Fondo events.
