North Mississippi’s Premier Cycling Event
Oxford, MS
The Velvet Ditch Gran Fondo is a non-competitive bicycle ride, meaning there will be no awards for fastest times. The ride will take place on open roads, so rider discretion is advised. Routes are 20, 45, 62 & 70 miles. Routes are for all levels with SAG.
As long as you want to pedal, all bikes are welcome: Big Box Bikes, Commuter bikes, E-bikes, Gravel bikes, Mountain bikes, Recumbent bikes, Road bikes, Tandem bikes, etc.
You will appreciate the police escorted Ride of Silence to start the ride…the challenging routes, the rest stops with goodies and Radlers. Then the Molly Barr climb to finish where you earn a special patch. After that, cruise in to finish and recover with great music, food, and drink at the Old Armory Pavillion.
