The Gran Fondo National Series brings the nation’s most competitive “big rides” to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Bikers can choose between a 24, 57, and 94-mile route, all of which gain approximately 4,000 feet of elevation. Or, opt to combine the courses for a timed, segmented experience. At the finish line, the top three winners in each category are announced, not to mention there are several raffle prizes (worth thousands) up for grabs. » Capua Law Firm, 164 South Depot St.; Sunday, 8 a.m. start time, 7:45 a.m. riders staged, 6 a.m.-7:15 packet pickup, Saturday, 3 p.m.-6 p.m. packet pickup; $165-$200 gran & medio, $110-$145 piccolo; (765) 247-2453; www.granfondonationalseries.com/gran-fondo-boone
