Buffalo River Gran Fondo is for you if you enjoy fun times, plenty of miles, good food, and great beer. The RIDE is a fully supported choice of 68.5 or 32.3 miles of mixed surface routes starting and finishing at Camp Trapezium located in the quaint town of Amherst, VA.
This isn't a traditional race in the sense of start to finish. For those who do enjoy a little spirited competition among friends, there will be 3 Strava segments placed throughout the route. Each Segment will be an independent competition with overall, gender, and age group awards. There will be signs on the route indicating the start and finish of each segment (2 climbs and a sprint). You will need to be on Strava (it's free) and in addition, will need to join the rides' Strava club to be eligible for awards.
The weekend will get started with check-in on Friday afternoon at Camp Trapezium with live music, dinner available for purchase, and lawn games. Camping will be encouraged for all riders and families at no additional cost. Pre-ride briefing along with light breakfast and coffee will start off Saturday morning at 8:00 am with the ride beginning at 9:30 am. Along the ride course, three supported rest stops will be provided. A sag vehicle will be available for any rider if needed. After the ride, all riders will be provided with a meal and a beer ticket along with commemorative swag. There will be additional food and drinks available to purchase for your loved ones.
