Team Category
Team category will be awarded at all 2023 Gran Fondo National Series events.
We will be awarding the winning team with 3 comp entries good for an event in the next 11 months.
The following rules apply:
Team-time is equal to the sum of any 3 team riders cumulative times (add 3 riders times together and it equals a team-time).
A team member bonus of 15 seconds per team member shall be subtracted from each team's team-time.
Teams must have three (3) or more riders to qualify. If a team has more than 3 riders, the team's three fastest riders’ times will make up the team-time. Of course, the team benefits from having more riders finish, as each team member is worth 15" off the team-time.
Team category is only for the Gran Route distance (~100 miles).
* For Gran Fondo Maryland, National Championship and Gran riders will be combined.All teams must be registered under the same team name prior to the start of the event.
Team riders are still eligible for individual awards.
No Team Cars are allowed to follow the route.
