Gran Fondo NJ Scores High Marks From Its Riders For The Past Two Years Running

(Morristown, NJ, 4th June 2014) 
 
Riders love Gran Fondo NJ – in its past two years over 97% of respondents in its post ride survey said they would recommend the event to a friend.  
 
That comes as no surprise to the Founder of Gran Fondo NJ and bike shop owner Marty Epstein, “We make every decision regarding the event with the cyclist in mind, from efficient packet pick up, to our lavish well-stocked rest stops, to our amazingly marked routes - you can ride any of our four distances (107, 62, 42 and 18 miles) without having to look at a cue sheet.” 
 
“We have some of the best and most challenging riding in the country and we are just 35 miles from NYC”, says Executive Director Bill Ruddick (and he should know, having completed a 10-week, 5,300 mile trans-continental ride in 2010).  “Massive country estates, rolling farmland, and secluded quiet roads through forests dot the routes.“ 
 
If you are looking for a challenge, what the event lacks in length of climbs, (the longest climb is about 2 miles) it more than make up in quantity (The 107-mile route has over 8,800 feet in elevation gain).  If you are looking for competition, there are timed climbs on each of the Gran, Medio and Piccolo routes.  The event basically lets the rider set the balance between fun and competition.  The format lets groups of different abilities ride together in the non-timed sections,  go all-out up the climbs, and regroup at the top.
 

At the end, riders are treated to a tour-like finish line chute complete with cheerleaders, finishers medals, a podium ceremony for KoM QoM and Team winners and a post-ride feast, festival and expo.
