Grand Fondo Fun
This past weekend MSU hosted their first Grand Fondo in downtown Grand Rapids. The Italian meaning for Grand Fondo is "Big Race" and this event was just that with close to 1500 participating riders of all ages. In true MSU form this event was followed up with Gears for Beers which included a selection of Michigan micro-brewery's and winery's serving samples to pair with the tasty eats from the street food stations. Overall this event to support skin cancer research was a success.
GRAN FONDO - June 29, 2013 The Grand Rapids Gran Fondo is a community event designed to support skin cancer research in West Michigan by MSU . For those participating there are multiple distance options with designated rest areas along the route, tasty food and live entertainment.
