The Brandywine Valley offers some of the best cycling terrain on the East Coast.

 Experience one of the most scenic cycling routes in the U.S. as the Wilmington Grand Prix’s 11th Annual Delaware Gran Fondo offers cyclists the unique opportunity to traverse a challenging 100-kilometer (62 miles) course linked by 13 cultural attractions, including stunning rides through world-class institutions such as Hagley Museum & Gardens, Granogue and Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library. The Delaware Gran Fondo will allow cyclists the rare privilege of passing through these attractions on the same ride. The 2023 Fondo was a sell-out with riders from 19 states and five countries, including Australia, Canada and Great Britain as well as Florida, Colorado, Michigan, Texas and Illinois, participating in Delaware's premier ride.
