Description - 100% women's weekend at the Gran Fondo Suisse
The UCI Granfondo Suisse is back with 2 magnificent courses that put the legendary passes of the Alpes Vaudoises back on the menu. And for the second time in Villars, the UCI Gravel Suisse is organised the same weekend, also with 2 courses to choose from.
As a resident of the Villars region and a lover of the roads used by the Granfondo, Lillie Rumpf is delighted to be launching a 100% women's weekend once again. It's dedicated to cyclists who aren't sure whether they want to take part in such an event, those who want to improve their technique or those who just want a fun weekend out with the girls.
