Testimonials from Gran Fondo Rockies 2011. . .

 

"I would just like to thank you folks for hosting one of the best events I have been to in some time. I did the 60K ride this weekend (my first Gran Fondo) and it will not be my last. The competitors were friendly, jersey is terrific, route challenging (that is a good thing), food afterwards terrific and great prizes given out. Thank you for hosting such a great event."
Maria W.

 

"Donna, you and Rick and your whole team did a great job with GF Rockies this year! It's more than a lot of hard work to get an event like this off the ground - vision, commitment, passion are all needed to bring all together. Thank you and good luck with the event in the years to come!"
Andrew M.

 

"A great day - congratulations on a well-run event. The weatherman cooperated and the food at the aid stations and the finish line was especially good. Nice to see as too often events cheap out on the food. Thanks .... I'll be back and I'll tell my friends."
Chris K.
