Matt Zimmer from De Witt, IA who rides for Lees-McRae Cycling Team was fastest up Blue Ridge Parkway, Beech Mountain and Beaver Dam.

Overall Matt Zimmer was fastest just ahead of Matthew Champion and Tristian Cowie for the men and Jenny Leiser fastest ahead of Beni Thompson and Rach Mond.

The fastest team was Ally's Bar including Matthew Champion, Tristian Cowie, Bryan Hoy and Taylor Little.

Michael D. Parsons commented "Crossed it the Eastern Continental Divide twice today, the Boone Gran Fondo - a perfect ride"

Coach Timothy Hall from Beech Mountain, North Carolina commented "Big day in the High Country. Very cool event. Average uphill segment times but 3rd overall finisher in the 100 mile. Solo off front from mile 10 until mile 80 when Zimmer caught and passed me. Then at mile 90 I got passed by Savre."
