PROGRAMMING
Take advantage of the Gran Fondo Mont-Tremblant to plan a weekend of cycling and outdoor activities from May 30th to June 1st, 2014. A varied programming offers complementary group rides for avid cycling enthusiasts and the well-known participant meet and greet at the La Diable Microbrewery, the cyclist gathering to kick start the weekend. ‘The Gran Fondo Mont-Tremblant formula is friendly and non-competitive,” comments Robert Brunet, co-producer of the event. ‘We are working to create a cycling festival spirit by offering a wide range of programming and cycling activities accessible to all.’ Several industry exhibitors and kiosks will be on hand beginning on Friday afternoon.
