Garrett County and the Deep Creek Lake area boast some of the finest and most challenging cycling in North America, and the Garrett County Gran Fondo has established itself as a premier North American Gran Fondo unsurpassed in challenge, scenery, and riding quality. The GCGF has a ride for everyone from recreational cyclists to seasoned professionals with five supported ride options. With the exception of the “Garrett’s Greatest 25”, all GCGF routes are extremely challenging, very steep climbing affairs and riders should plan accordingly. Some hills peak out at over 20% pitch and have extended stretches well into the teens. It is highly recommended that you gear your bike appropriately for severe climbing. All proceeds from the GCGF go to the Garrett Trails Nonprofit located in Garrett County, Maryland, to benefit trails throughout the area. REGISTER HERE
