Your entry includes: sweet GFSL rally towel (perfect for those rides on your trainer), finisher medal, GFSL socks, supported aid-stations, window sticker, and catered finish-line food. 

The Century ride begins with a climb to the State Capitol and heads along avenues and loops back to the fairgrounds, which is also the site of the first aid station.   Cyclists will then head north along streets through Davis County.  We've added some fun rollers and fun decent in Kaysville to break up the monotony.  The turnaround point is at the entrance to Antelope Island State Park.   

The Metric Century and 30-mile rides mimic the Century with visible turnaround points. 

The Gran Fondo will have Feed Stations at approximately every 20 miles, including at the turnaround point at the entrance of Antelope Island State Park.  These feed stations will include, water, Gatorade Endurance Nutrition electrolyte drinks, Coke, energy bars, treats, PB & J "Uncrustables" sandwiches.  The Rock House Financial Farmington Aid Station (at approx. miles 38 and 77) will have pancakes for a more substantive treat on your way to and from Salt Lake.  

We will have moto-support and support trucks roaming along the route. We will have bike support for minor bike technical issues (flats, gears, etc). However, covering 90+ miles, it may take a while for our vehicles to get to you.  We encourage you to bring basic cycling necessities (pump, tire, patch kit, etc) a cell phone with you and to contact our support staff should you need assistance.  There will also be a sag-vehicle following the last group or person on the course.  

This event is a non-timed, touring event.  If you are a team looking for an event to prepare for a future race, we welcome you! Feel free to bring your team vehicle and support crew.  However, keep in mind, our permits and future of this and other events require you obey all traffic rules as they pertain to cycling and road vehicular traffic, and each of your members must be registered for the event.

ALL participants, including teams, must obey all traffic rules.
