You heard it time and time again..."This is the best ride I've ever done!"

 

Levi Leipheimer's King Ridge GrandFondo was a roaring success.

 

From the mass start of nearly 3,500 riders in Santa Rosa, CA, to the waves of the Pacific Ocean crashing along the Sonoma County Coast, to the killer climbs up King Ridge and Coleman Valley, to the post-ride festival hosted by Levi and wife Odessa Gunn, this was a day that will live large in the memories of all who participated.

 

To those of you who where there...you each have your own experiences, your own stories to tell. And for those of you who weren't fortunate enough to be a part of this unforgetable fondo, here's a look at what it was like from our point of view, below.
