The Gran Fondo Conwy will take you on a beautiful, inspiring, iconic and challenging ride around the best roads Conwy and Denbighshire have to offer - in fact, they're probably some of the best roads to cycle in the whole of Wales and the UK.There will be three options availbale;·         

  • Gran Fondo Bach – is the shortest route which will be approx 40 miles
  • Gran Fondo Canol  – will comes in at around 75 miles
  • Gran Fondo Mawr – is the biggie at around 103 miles         
  • Gran Fondo Teulu -  is a short family ride (approx. 6 miles) so that the kids can get involved too


Starting and finishing from the same location as the senior routes, we hope to inspire young riders to one day become British Cycling heroes! 

The Gran Fondo Teulu route will follow quiet roads with beautiful scenery for you to enjoy.  Children must be accompanied by adult cyclists for the duration of the ride. There is no fee for the Gran Fondo Teulu.

All routes will start and finish at the beautiful Conwy Marina next to the iconic and spectacular Conwy Castle.
