Adding to my list of races and events this summer, I’ll be doing the Gran Fondo NY 100 Mile bike race with friend Chris. Just got a new bike, so I’m psyched to start racing it asap!

The second edition of Gran Fondo New York brings Italian cycling culture to the world’s greatest city on May 20, 2012. Join thousands of cyclists on a challenging 100 mile Gran Fondo and 65 mile non competitive Medio Fondo from New York City to Bear Mountain and back in an experience fit for a pro and open to anyone who loves to ride.
