For those able to, please collect your packets on Saturday. Event-day packet pickup is for those unable to arrive on Saturday.
All participants need to collect their corresponding timing chip at the event2023 Bibs by Last Name. Timing chips will not be in rider packets. Simply approach the timing chip distribution tables one at a time and collect your chip. You must have your bib number with you. Timing chips must be returned at the finish line.
Riders can collect someone else’s number and packet if: the absent rider has completed their online event waiver (most of you have). Otherwise, they will need to check in and complete a form onsite. Please do not “do your friend a favor” and collect their bib number and packet without asking them first – this leads to confusion.
Riders who purchased additional merchandise, jerseys, and meal tickets will receive those items in their packets. Event t-shirts and socks will not be mailed to riders who do not attend the event. Any unclaimed jerseys that were purchased will be mailed following the event.

Get pumped for this weekend’s weather forecast! Throughout the region, it looks like Mother Nature will be setting a great stage for your big adventures.
Many participants have been training for a route that’s meaningful to them. It’s been inspiring to learn about what you have planned and share in your stories. The #MyGranFondo Strava Club has been an engaging new way for participants to come together, inspire and encourage one another. If you’re participating in the 2020 Alpine Loop Gran Fondo #MyGranFondo Challenge and have yet to join the Club, it’s not too late to share in the opportunity.
If you’re still plotting an adventure for your #MyGranFondo Challenge, check out the collection of routes compiled by Jeremiah Bishop and other Alpine Loop Gran Fondo ambassadors across the country. All 2020 routes are unsupported and you are encouraged to make the safest choices given your location and unique circumstances.
The Prostate Cancer Awareness Project King and Queen of the Mountains and Sprint contests continue throughout the weekend. Participants’ efforts have been impressive! There have been massive suffer scores, hundreds of PRs, and quite a few new crowns among the activities. We’re cheering for all participants and look forward to awarding winners’ jerseys next week.
Friday, September 25, at 6:30PM Jeremiah will go live on Instagram for a happy hour-style weekend kickoff. Look for some familiar Gran Fondo faces to join him and share some special stories. Throughout the day on Saturday, September 26, he will share his Instagram story of the Alpine Loop to inspire others to similarly tell the story of what motivates and inspires their big rides.
Throughout your lead-up and preparations, big ride, and afterwards, please share your story. When participants use the hashtag #MyGranFondo and tag @JBsGranFondo, @AlpineLoopGranFondo, and @CancerJourneys on Facebook and Instagram, their stories will be shared and their achievements celebrated – including possible use in the Prostate Cancer Awareness Project video.
On Sunday morning at 8AM, virtual start line sendoff’s will be shared on Facebook and Instagram. At 6PM Jeremiah will again go live for a toast and ceremonial ringing of giant Swiss Glocken on behalf of all 2020 Alpine Loop Gran Fondo #MyGranFondo participants.
It looks to be an adventurous weekend, wherever your inspiration takes you!
