June 12, 2018 (Ottawa, ON) – Desjardins GranFondoOttawa presents our MedioFondo/100K route. The Medio Fondo offers a more robust and slightly more competitive route option for those looking to experience GranFondoOttawa as a metric century.

We offer Ride Ambassadors, 6 ClifBar/Cytomax Feed Stations and the post-ride FondoFesta BBQ with Vittoria Trattoria artisan pasta salad, La Bottega NicastroItalian sausage, and cold Clocktower craft beer.

Over 100K it rises 1,578′ gradually and mostly along the 4 x QOM|KOM-TT sections powered by Ride w/GPS with the option to climb the Pakenham Ski Hill.

The route is fully supported with OPS at intersections, route arrows, Roving Tech and First Aid and Team Breathe Sag support.

Please note the reference to 2017 in the Ride with GPS link is based on us not expecting to change the route this year, however, we may need to do so depending on local road works in the coming weeks.
