Ride The Gran Fondo Gran Fondo Roads!

We haven’t gotten a chance to post a wrap up on our gran fondo, but we thought with the perfect fall weather continuing, we should at least share the routes so that anyone who owned a bike could head to Fly, Tn and ride some of these routes over the next few weeks.

You can probably follow our temporary chalk marks on the pavement for a bit more; but please, do not call the shop if you lose your way or can’t print the cue sheet!! 

The Excel files (older version) are posted below and we will copy in the text for those who may not be spreadsheet proficient. These cue sheets do not mesh 100% with Map My Ride or Google Maps because they are written to follow the way a rider sees the road, not give a direction every time the road changes its name...

Feel free to stare at a map a bit and chop part of this off to shorten the route or avoid the dirt road; just promise you will go out, park your car at Mr. Fly's store and go ride some of it!!

All routes start from:
             Fly's General Store
5661 Leipers Creek Rd, 
Santa Fe, TN 38482
