Gran Fondo LA hosted by Colnago America this weekend, June 25th and 26th!

Colnago America is hosting it's FIRST Gran Fondo Los Angeles event this year, and it looks to be close to a sold out event.

 "'Gran Fondo' means 'Big Ride' in Italian.

Gran Fondos are long distance, mass-participation cycling events – not races – that are immensely popular in Italy.  Participation is open to recreational and competitive amateur cyclists, and tens of thousands of riders of all abilities participate."

A lot of times, cyclists admire those who work for bike shops, often assuming that being an employee for a bike shop such as Wrench Science means tons of perks. Those who are employees of bike shops will tell those cyclists the real deal, and that is we don't get many perks.

Today however was a different story. We were fortunate enough to receive the green light for getting a chance to ride along with the team assist vehicle of Bissell Pro Cycling.We have been selling Pinarello bikes for a long time now so we're no stranger to how well they perform, but to get this opportunity and honor of riding along, being close to the action is just beyond words.
