Read the USAC rules on Gran Fondos (only on-line). They are an incredibly
detailed riot!

As I understand it, Gran Fondos in Italy are often competitive races at the
front. The further back in the field you go, the less competitive it gets.
Similar to how large marathons are run in the US. Some of the bigger ones
have big prize lists and even get shown on TV.

Are the Gran Fondos on the OBRA calendar competitive races, or are they more
recreational rides?

Thanks,
Joe
