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.
