“Gran Allenamento” means “Big Training” in Italian. Gran Allenamentos are big event training days, not races – which are immensely popular in Italy. Gran Allenamentos are often named after famous cyclists of the past or after companies with a long heritage in cycling. Some of the most famous Gran Allenamentos include the Prosecco Cycling Classic, the Nove Colli and the Felice Gimondi that are held before their respective Gran Fondos.

Participation to the Vitess Gran Allenamento Marsh 2011 is by invitation only. All riding abilities are welcome, our ride leaders will expertly manage pace and effort so that both serious recreational and competitive amateur cyclists can fully enjoy the event.

Silfab Ontario is the title sponsor of this event and we are thrilled and very proud to have them on-board. The future of solar energy is developed and manufactured right here in Ontario, and under the leadership of Vitess Rider and Silfab COO Paolo Maccario, Silfab is sure to become a huge success story.

If rubbing elbows on the bike is not the intent – remember this is not a race; we will have the après-ride and wine tasting to do so!
