Possibly reading the writing on the pandemic wall, Gran Fondo National Series (GFNS) has announced their entire 2021 competitive series will be raced on the RGT virtual cycling platform – for FREE.

The upcoming nine race E-Fondo Series, including an E-championship race, will use RGT Cycling’s innovative “Magic Roads” to simulate GFNS’s real-world courses in a virtual environment.

“We wanted the indoor and outdoor experiences on GFNS courses to be as similar as possible, and realistic in-game physics is what RGT does best. They were also excited to integrate our timed-section competition format, complete with on-screen graphics and tracking rider results over multiple events,” said GFNS founder Reuben Kline

Riders will compete over timed segments with multiple opportunities to qualify for the in-person 2021 GFNS National Championship tentatively planned for 18 July in North Carolina, USA.

The E-Fondo Series offers both weekday and weekend competitions with three separate start times for each race.
