Join us for the 12th anniversary Great Pumpkin Roll Gran Fondo!
This is the Queen City’s BIGGEST ANNUAL RIDE and we roll out the orange (fall) carpet!
Last year's event featured cyclists from 12 states! Fantastic routes and amazing finish line food were a big hit in 2022 and received tons of compliments. Our event will sell out in 2023.
In 2023 the friendly Town of Brookville will welcome us again for the 2023 Great Pumpkin Roll Gran Fondo. The ride will start and finish at Third Place Tavern and Event Center our finish line partner and host. There are three beautiful scenic Gran Fondo Routes and lots of sights to see and many photo opportunities. Make sure to enter the ride photo contest! Stay post ride for a super tasty hot post ride meal included in your registration!
