What road cycling is

Road cycling events cover a wide range of formats — from non-competitive gran fondos and century rides to closed-course criteriums, time trials, and road races. What they share is sustained effort over a long distance on a bike, usually on paved roads.

Many events offer several distance options at the same venue, so you can pick the route that matches you. Beginner-friendly gran fondos make a welcoming entry point.

Short
<25 miles

Best starting point. Mass-participation rides with beginner distances — you may see these called Gran Fondos.

Metric Century
62 miles

The natural step up — about 62 miles. A long but achievable day once shorter rides feel comfortable.

Century
100 miles

The classic cycling milestone — 100 miles in a day, and a major endurance goal.
