The Gila Monster Gran "Fondue" presented by Desert Springs Physical Therapy is scheduled for October 10th in Silver City, New Mexico. This event is a fundraiser for the Tour of the Gila Bicycle Race.
The Gila Monster Gran "Fondue" will take a decidedly culinary turn this year, the 4th annual event, with a fondue get-together the evening after the ride at the local brewery and distillery - Little Toad Creek. We are pairing up with the Red Dot Art Weekend to tie in this spectacular event of gallery hopping, studio visits, and live music to showcase Silver City at its best. Cycling, food and art! What could be a better pairing?
The Gran "Fondue" presented by Desert Springs Physical Therapy is a long distance, timed cycling event that is fun yet has a competitive edge for amateur and recreational cyclists. The course follows the iconic Tour of the Gila "Gila Monster" road race, covering some of the most stunning routes in New Mexico. Roving sag wagons and rest stations will provide extra support to get you to that finish line. The beautiful, quaint mining village of Pinos Altos provides the end of the trail.
Enjoy the Gran Fondo which is 103 miles. Medio Fondo is 70 miles. Maybe you want a smaller challenge? If so consider the Micro Fondo at 50 miles or the Nano Fondo which is 32 miles. The Gran Fondo and Medio Fondo rides start at 8:00 am at Gough Park in Silver City. A shuttle will be available for the two shorter events. It will leave Gough Park at 7:30 am.
