From the ride's website:  

Gran Fondo – 100 miles – Imagine riding 100 miles with nearly 2000 friends.  This is urban riding, suburban side streets and some wide open country roads with stops at 3 aid stations (leaves at 9 am).  Fulton Gran Fondo 2024 · Ride with GPS

Medio Fond – 50 miles – A little shorter and easier road ride than the Gran Fondo (leaves at 10 am).  I will be doing this route.  Fulton Medio Fondo 2024 · Ride with GPS

Piccolo Fondo – 22 miles – A police escort will deliver you to the Three Rivers District trails that will take you to a pit stop at Pizza Luce Hopkins with a complimentary Fulton beer (leaves at 11 am).  Fulton Piccolo Fondo 2024 · Ride with GPS
