Grey skies, cool temps and blustery conditions couldn’t stop die hard gran fondo riders in Washington state USA at the Gran Fondo Goldendale.

Promoter Vicious Cycle put together an adventurous 90-mile gran fondo route near the Columbia River Gorge with amazing scenery, a little dirt, a little more gravel and a grueling climb up Lyle Grade just to make it epic.  Disc brakes ruled the day on gravel, road, cx, and mtb bikes as Gran Fondo Goldendale offers something for every rider type – even single speeders.
