Hurricane RidgeIn addition to the Gran Fondo, our Seattle event also offers an exclusive 100-mile Super Gran Fondo, limited to 500 riders.

Upon reaching Port Angeles, Super Gran Fondo riders will break off from the group and climb up above sea level through lush mountain meadows. Finish the ride with a timed 17-mile climb up the incredible Hurricane Ridge. The Super Gran Fondo is unique because it is a one-way course – participants are treated to a first class bus ride back to Kingston at the end of the ride.
