CHAFE 150 Gran Fondo 2017 Tickets

The CHAFE 150 Gran Fondo is an annual cycling event that attracts thousands of participants from around the country. The term 'Gran Fondo' originated in Italy and translates to 'big ride' in English. The term is used to describe long-distance, mass-participation cycling events, typically covering distances of 100 miles or more.

In 2017, the CHAFE 150 Gran Fondo took place in Sandpoint, Idaho, and attracted over 1,500 riders who were eager to challenge themselves against the stunning backdrop of Lake Pend Oreille and the surrounding mountains.

As with any long-distance cycling event, participants trained hard for months before the event, building their endurance and strength so that they could complete the challenging course. Many spent hours on their bikes each week, pushing themselves to the limit in preparation for the big day.

The actual race day was a celebration of the countless hours of hard work that had gone into preparing for the event. Riders were decked out in colorful jerseys, each one a testament to the dedication and passion that brought them to this point.

The course itself was challenging, with a mix of terrain that included hills, flats, and some technical sections. For many riders, the toughest part of the race was the mental challenge of keeping going, especially as the miles started to add up.

But all the effort and hard work paid off as riders crossed the finish line, exhausted but elated at having completed the distance. And it wasn't just about personal achievement – the CHAFE 150 Gran Fondo is also a fundraiser for the Lake Pend Oreille School District, with proceeds going towards programs that support local children.

Overall, the CHAFE 150 Gran Fondo is a true testament to the power of sports and the human spirit. It shows what can be achieved when people come together around a shared goal and work tirelessly to turn their dreams into reality.
