Ride with George Hincapie for a true gravel cycling experience through the rolling hills and open grasslands of California’s Central valley. Our first West Coast Gran Fondo Hincapie starts in the heart of Merced, CA and takes you on an epic adventure into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Celebrate your adventure afterwards at our family festival, with free food and beverage.
IMPORTANT COURSE INFO:
Our course travels through beautiful California ranch lands but please keep in mind that while you are on public roads, the land on either side is private ranch land.
Please help us respect the ranchers that have been so helpful in making this event happen by staying on public roadways and off private ranch property. While on ranch roads, please keep moving unless you have an emergency.
It is also important to note that you may encounter ranch cattle while on course. Under no circumstances should cattle be touched, harassed, approached, or used as a selfie backdrop. Please enjoy viewing these beautiful creatures from your bike as you ride along.
