Lehigh Gran Fondo KOM and Sprint Competitions

Next weekend's anticipated Gran Fondo (Sunday 9/2 at 12pm) will cover more than a metric century and promises to offer challenges for all participating riders.  The route features 5 categorized climbs (1 Category 3 and 4 Category 4s), a number of rolling hills, as well as some long, flat sections.  The ride is guaranteed to be a great way to start off the year, hopefully meet some new people, and see how much riding everyone got in over the summer.  In order to further animate the day's festivities, there will be two in-ride competitions.

Lehigh Gran Fondo - September 2!

As everyone returns to South Mountain, we've decided to get the whole team together for perhaps the largest group ride in team history.  The Lehigh Gran Fondo, or "Big Ride," will take place on Sunday, September 2 and is open to all Lehigh students, faculty, staff, alumni, family and friends of the club. All groups will meet at 12 p.m. at the following address: Warren Square, Bethlehem, PA 18015

After some discussion about potential routes through the Lehigh Valley, the club has decided on a trip to Lake Nockamixon.  The lake is the largest in southeastern Pennsylvania and is the site of the annual Masters time trial state championship.  We'll be riding on the same 12.5 mile stretch on the west side of the lake.  The event will feature rides of three lengths--64 miles for those up for a bit more climbing and a faster pace, 53 miles for those up for a more leisurely ride, and a 20 mile fun ride for beginners and those looking for a relaxed Sunday spin.  We hope that this will give incoming students and new club members a chance to immediately become involved in the club and make connections with our current team and alumni .
Like this, only without the imported Italian cyclists.
