GFNY Cycling Competition November 8, 2020
On November 8th, 2020 enjoy an unique seafront cycling course in what is call “The Number One Cycling Event in Paradise! The GFNY Cozumel course is filled with fascinating views and challenging roads.
There are two distances to choose from, either the Long Distance 160 kilometers or the Medium distance 80 kilometers. Both have beautiful beaches and ocean views. The locals come out in big numbers to cheer the participants to the finish line.
Long Distance 160K
The 160km journey will take you thru two challenging hot laps around the coastline. The beautiful island has more than 50 kilometers of picturesque turquoise ocean views. Along the way, you will be challenged by strong Mayan winds.
Medium Distance 80K
The Medium distance route offers the same breathtaking views as the Long, but instead of two laps the route is shortened to one lap around the island. Do not be fooled this is still a challenging ride for many, especially with the strong winds and competitive group of riders.
