One month to go!
Now we have distributed posters and inscription forms the entries are starting to arrive.I have extended the deadline for lower €20 entry until September 20th but we really need as many pre-entries as possible to plan everything.
To ease the start of your challenging day we have decided to neutralise the event until Olhao: This will give riders a chance to warm up and reduce risks through the many roundabouts in Olhao. You have a long way to go afterwards, plenty of time to suffer later!
Some people have asked if they need to finish by a certain time- We will have to close the finish eventually but 8 hours should be enough for everyone.
You will still deserve your certificate and the post-race festa!
See you on the 26th!Gran Fondos for the Algarve!
Welcome to the new cycling trend for the Algarve and Portugal in 2010!
After moving to the Algarve some years ago, I have continued to race in Italy,
where Gran Fondos are weekly and thousands participate.
I hope, together, we can promote a growing series of events for all cyclists:
tourists, racers, young, veteran, women & men alike.
